The Arielle Collection British Colonial Coins

Part Two - Europe, Asia, Oceania and the Caribbean Introduction I am a fortunate man. I have worked at a job that I love, dealing in beautiful objects, and have dealt (mostly) with some of the most interesting people you could possibly meet. Not only have they shared this love, they have shown their appreciation for what we have attempted to do, by paying me back in non-traditional ways (in other words not money). My family has enjoyed cottages and lakes and oceans, offered by gracious collectors. Two of the most satisfying non-financial payments, have been being allowed to use the names of my two daughters for significant collections. Diana was the first and it is still a thrill for me to see her name used on pedigrees of coins from that collector. He knew how much I travelled and how hard I worked, the relationships that I had formed for years that allowed me to buy those coins for him and later the collecting public to enjoy. His added gift to me was to allow me to call the collection “The Diana Collection”. His enjoyment came in the owning of these pieces and that was enough for him. Now again, an important collector and friend has allowed me to use my second daughter’s name as the title for these sales. So welcome to “The Arielle Collection”, one of the most impressive British Colonial collections ever put together.

In discussion early on in the genesis of this collection, it was agreed we would leave Australia and Canada alone, as the money required to buy these coins in top condition would buy ten or twenty choice coins from less popular series, however there are a few Australian coins in this part. As we were aiming for completion, both of these countries had some very expensive dates that would preclude us from finishing a date set. We would focus on uncirculated coins when possible, proofs and patterns were especially important for many reasons, including rarity, aesthetics and a look into the thought processes of mint officials of the time of their striking. We also agreed that the colonial coins of Africa was a prime area to look, as the series were extensive, inexpensive, interesting and generally unknown as to rarity. A few of the significant collections of the past included Africa in their holdings but it wasn’t as important as it would become to us. Africa was the focus of Part One of the collection, sold by auction on the 26 September 2013 where every single one of the 818 lots sold.

Part Two of The Arielle Collection is the final auction and focuses on the coins of Europe, Asia, Oceania and the Caribbean. While they are not as complete as we would like - there never seemed to be that many choice coins of Hong Kong or Straits Settlements to buy - there are many rarities and top grade coins that would keep any collector interested.

We have referred to the collections of Major Fred Pridmore (sold by Glendinings in three sales between September 1981 and October 1983), Dick Ford (sold by Spink in London inOctober 1990 and 1991, and TaiseiBaldwin-Gillio in Singapore in February 1995), the recent Remick collection (sold by Spink in January 2007) and the Diana collection (sold here at Baldwin’s in September 2008 and May 2009).

We have also drawn from what I learnt from the Heaton Mint Archival sales, and the sale of part of the South African Mint holdings. These sources give the collector a better understanding of the coins they may want to add to their collection and how much they are worth to them. Today’s collector has learnt that catalogue values are used as guides only and that choice coins can bring many times this price. We have also realised that the price you pay is quickly forgotten when you win the ‘must have’ coin that you have been chasing for years. We are also aware of where the importance of collecting should stand. It is a wonderful ‘excuse’ to learn about history, and let your mind forget about so much of the negative items that we can read about every day, and in every way.

So, Good Luck with this auction, if you have questions, there are numerous talented people at Baldwin’s who were very helpful in the writing of this part of the collection or myself available to help you with getting the information you are seeking.

Mint state and rare, this combination of bronze proof with plain cap is unrecorded. £300-400 ex Dr R Caine collection of the Isle of Man, Spink Auction 145, 14 July 2000, lot 2715 ex Pridmore, Glendinings, 22 September 1981, lot 473, with tickets

17 † James Stanley, 10th Earl of Derby (1702-1736), second coinage, Bath Metal Halfpenny, 1733, Stanley crest, the eagle with child upon cap of maintenance, plain cap, date below, eagles tail is pointing to the lower left of the R of CHANGER, rev Triune, the ‘foot’ is pointing to the first Q of QUOCUNOUE (Pr 29; S 7409; KM 3b.1).

Mint state, lightly toned. £400-600 ex Dr R Caine collection of the Isle of Man, Spink Auction 145, 14 July 2000, lot 2714 ex Pridmore, Glendinings, 22 September 1981, lot 471

19

20

19 † James Murray, 2nd Duke of Atholl (1736-1765), Copper Halfpenny, 1758, crowned DA monogram, date below, rev Triune (Pr 30; S 7412; KM 6). Extremely fine, toned. £50-80 20 † James Stanley, 10th Earl of Derby (1702-1736), first coinage, cast Copper Penny, 1709, Stanley crest, the eagle with child upon cap of maintenance, SANS CHANGER, date below, rev struck en médaille, Triune (Pr 1; S 7401; KM 2).

21 † James Stanley, 10th Earl of Derby (1702-1736), Silver Pattern Penny, 1723, by William Wood, Stanley crest, the eagle with child upon cap of maintenance, frosted cap, date below, rev Triune (Pr 4; S -; KM Pn16).

Good fine, extremely rare. £1000-1500 ex Dr R Caine collection of the Isle of Man, Spink Auction 145, 14 July 2000, lot 2694 The low grade is interesting. It is most likely a pocket piece and spent a long time carried by its owner.

22 † James Stanley, 10th Earl of Derby (1702-1736), Copper Penny, 1733, Stanley crest, the eagle with child upon cap of maintenance, date below, rev Triune, OUOCUNOUE error legend, probably a contemporary counterfeit (Pr 12; S 7404; KM 5). Good fine. £30-50

23

24

23 † James Stanley, 10th Earl of Derby (1702-1736), Copper Penny, 1733, Stanley crest, the eagle with child upon cap of maintenance, frosted cap, date below, rev Triune (Pr 13; S 7408; KM 5a). Extremely fine, has been cleaned some time ago. £100-150 The cleaning gives this the appearance of a Bath Metal piece, but it is copper and appears to be struck from the same dies as the proof in the following lot. Pridmore mentions that Seaby’s did an analysis of this in 1948 and found it to be 97.6% copper. Why he calls them bronze is most unusual, and I trust just a mistake.

24 † James Stanley, 10th Earl of Derby (1702-1736), Copper Proof Penny, 1733, Stanley crest, the eagle with child upon cap of maintenance, frosted cap, date below, rev Triune (cf Pr 13B; S 7408; KM 5). Lovely glossy uncirculated, unrecorded in copper, but see note to previous lot. £250-350 As these show up quite choice and can be difficult to discern between a proof and a well struck early strike, it is generally acknowledged that if the edge milling is full and intact, the piece is a proof.

25 † James Stanley, 10th Earl of Derby (1702-1736), Silver Proof Penny, 1733, Stanley crest, the eagle with child upon cap of maintenance, frosted cap, date below, rev Triune, 9.087g (Pr 13A; S 7406; KM 5d.1).

Mint state, lightly toned. £400-600 ex Dr R Caine collection of the Isle of Man, Spink Auction 145, 14 July 2000, lot 2707 The dies used on the two silver pieces are slightly different. This coin has the appearance of being struck on a planchet twice as thick as the other, but the slight difference in weight doesn’t bear this out. The edge milling is strong and even, the strike is strong, making it comfortable to call this a proof.

26 † James Stanley, 10th Earl of Derby (1702-1736), ‘Copper’ Proof Penny, 1733, Stanley crest, the eagle with child upon cap of maintenance, plain cap, date below, rev Triune, the pellets in the armoury of the Triune are annulets rather than the usual rounded dots (Pr 14; S 7406; KM 5a). Good extremely fine with lustre, Pridmore notes this variety is very rare. £300-500 ex Dr R Caine collection of the Isle of Man, Spink Auction 145, 14 July 2000, lot 2709

27 † James Stanley, 10th Earl of Derby (1702-1736), Silver Penny, 1733, possibly a proof, Stanley crest, the eagle with child upon cap of maintenance, plain cap, date below, rev Triune, 8.94g (Pr 13A; S 7406; KM 5d.1).

About extremely fine. £250-350 ex Dr R Caine collection of the Isle of Man, Spink Auction 145, 14 July 2000, lot 2710 This has not been struck with the same care as the previous piece in silver. The surface is not proof-like and the milling is not full, suggesting it wasn’t struck as a proof, but why was it struck?

28 † James Murray, 2nd Duke of Atholl (1736-1765), Copper Penny, 1758, crowned DA monogram, date below, rev Triune, edge plain (Pr 15; S 7411; KM 7). Good extremely fine, light brown tone. £100-150

29 † James Murray, 2nd Duke of Atholl (1736-1765), Silver Proof Penny, 1758, crowned DA monogram, date below, rev Triune, edge herring-bone pointing right (Pr 15A; S 7411; KM 7a). Cleaned at some time in the past, otherwise lustrous extremely fine. £800-1000 ex Dr R Caine collection of the Isle of Man, Spink Auction 145, 14 July 2000, lot 2724 Struck with the same dies as the copper piece in the previous lot, but edge differs.

30 † Victoria (1837-1901), Copper Farthing, 1839 (Pr 37; S 7419; KM 12). Noticeable die clashing on the reverse, almost full red uncirculated. £120-180 ex Diana collection (part 3), Baldwin’s Auction 59, 5 May 2009, lot 264

31 † Victoria (1837-1901), Copper Special Strike Farthing, 1864, thin flan, Roman I before WW on truncation, over-struck on an 1839 IOM Farthing, the date is the most obvious example of the overstrike, the portrait is from a Sovereign rather than a Farthing, which has not been noted (Pr 40; S 7419; KM 12). Extremely fine, rare. £1000-1500 ex Dr R Caine collection of the Isle of Man, Spink Auction 145, 14 July 2000, 2758 These proof only dates from the 1860s, struck for the various Channel Islands, would make a most interesting collection if one could find these rarities. The use of the English Half Farthing, Farthing and Sovereign dies should be in case there are more pieces to be found.

Possibly struck to be displayed at an important event, probably occurring in 1864and dispersed afterwards. Special strikes seems be the most appropriate wording.

32

33

32 † George III (1760-1820), Copper Halfpenny, 1786, laureate head right, date below, rev Triune, edge grained (Pr 31A; S 7414a; KM 8). Traces of verdigris at centre of obverse, otherwise uncirculated with some mint red. £150-200 33 † George III (1760-1820), Copper Proof Halfpenny, 1786, laureate head right, date below, rev Triune, edge grained (Pr 31A; S 7414a; KM 8).

37 † Victoria (1837-1901), Copper Halfpenny, 1839 (Pr 34; S 7418; KM 13). Uncirculated, some light bagmarks, full mint red. £150-250

38 † Victoria (1837-1901), Copper Special Strike Halfpenny, 1860, young head left, W:W. on truncation (Pr 36; S 7418; KM 13). Mint state, streak of gilding on the reverse running from the knee of one of the Triunes to the ‘E’ of IECERIS, toned. £1000-1500 ex Glendinings, 16 December 1920, lot 89 ex R J Ford, Spink Auction 79, 15 October 1990, lot 218 ex Dr R Caine collection of the Isle of Man, Spink Auction 145, 14 July 2000, 2755

Good extremely fine, struck quite a bit later than the coin in the previous lot with much die rust and surfaces that are over polished, possibly in an attempt to hide the die rust. £150-200 ex Spink Numismatic Circular, August 2000, item 3349

44 † Victoria (1837-1901), Copper Special Strike Penny, 1859, by William Wyon, young head left, no W.W. on truncation (Pr 22; S 7417; KM 14). Some original lustre, dull tone, otherwise almost as struck. £1500-2000 ex Dr R Caine collection of the Isle of Man, Spink Auction 145, 14 July 2000, 2753

49 † William IV (1830-1837), Copper Double (3), 1830 (Pr 72; S 7202; KM 1). Generally about uncirculated with traces of lustre. (3) £80-120

50 † William IV (1830-1837), Copper Double, 1830, dot before date (Pr 72 var; S 7202; KM 1). Extremely fine with light red brown tone, rare. £100-150 ex A L T McCammon collection, Baldwin’s Auction 20, 11 October 1999, lot 144 (part) The date and the ‘D’ and ‘E’ of DOUBLE have been double cut, while the “dot” looks like it has been double stamped with the second stamp taking out half of the dot. The dot is of a significant size that it is something intentional and not a piece of rust or a slip of the die cutter. But it is slightly elliptical, so hard to imagine what stamp was used to put it there. Puzzling.

51 † William IV (1830-1837), Copper Proof Double, 1830, die axis ↑↑ (Pr 72A; S 7202; KM 1a). Obverse with full lustre, minor spots both sides, otherwise brilliant uncirculated. £300-400 ex A L T McCammon collection, Baldwin’s Auction 20, 11 October 1999, lot 144 (part) This usually comes as a bronzed proof and with a coin die axis of the circulating coin. An argument can be made to call this a pattern, as they were perhaps testing the dies to see how the die flow affected the overall design strength with the medal die axis.

52 † Victoria (1837-1901), Bronze Double, 1868, 68 over 30 (Pr 74; S 7209; KM 10). Extremely fine with traces of lustre. £50-80

53 † Victoria (1837-1901), Four Piece Bronze Specimen Set, Double, 2-Doubles, 4-Doubles and 8-Doubles, 1885H (Pr 75, 59a, 41a; KM 10, 9, 7). First two uncirculated, though somewhat toned, the 4-Doubles mostly brilliant uncirculated, showing off the die polishing lines, the 8-Doubles brilliant uncirculated and lacquered.

(4) £700-900

54 † Victoria (1837-1901), Four Piece Bronzed Proof Set, Double, 2-Doubles, 4-Doubles and 8-Doubles, 1885H (Pr 75A, 59A, 41A, 19A; S 7209; KM 10, 10a). Mint state. (4) £800-1000 The Bronzed proofs of this series would not have come out in 1975 in the Heaton Mint archive dispersal. While choice, these coins have the patina of coins that have spent some time in a collector’s cabinet.

55 † Victoria (1837-1901), Bronze Double (3), 1889H, 1893H, 1899H (Pr 76, - 78; S 7209; KM 10). All uncirculated with full lustre. (3) £40-60

56 † Edward VII (1901-1910), Four Piece Bronze Specimen Set, Double, 2-Doubles, 4-Doubles and 8-Doubles, 1902H (cf Pr 79, 62, 49; S 7213; KM 10, 8, 5, 7). The Double as struck with patchy lacquer, the other three brilliant mint state without lacquer. (4) £500-800 ex A L T McCammon collection, Baldwin’s Auction 20, 11 October 1999, lot 152 (part) ex R J Ford, Spink Auction 79, 15 October 1990, lot 141 (part), and Heaton Mint, Birmingham Guernsey seems to be the only country where these lacquered coins appear. Not sure why but their bronze seems to have a slightly different patina to bronze coins of other countries.

57 † George V (1910-1936), Bronze Specimen Double, 1914H (cf Pr 83; cf S 7217A; cf KM 11). Mint state, lacquered, rare, unrecorded in both Pridmore and Krause. £150-200 ex A L T McCammon collection, Baldwin’s Auction 20, 11 October 1999, lot 155 (part) While we have been fortunate to have the number of coins that the Heaton Mint Archive had in 1975, mostly specimen strikes, we were unable to obtain them for Guernsey. Our best indicator would be what Dick Ford had. He was one of the ‘special’ collectors of his day and he would have been one of the first people offered coins from Heaton. He did not have this denomination, but had the 2-Double of this date. However, we are aware of pre-1975 sales having some of these specimen coins, so a proper number is impossible, nevertheless, their rarity is not in doubt

58 † George V (1910-1936) and George VI (1936-1952), Bronze Doubles (5), 1911H, 1914H, 1929H, 1933H, 1938H (Pr 81, 83-86; S 7217, 7217A, 7220; KM 10, 11). First good extremely fine, the others uncirculated. (5) £40-60

59 † Victoria (1837-1901), Bronze 2-Doubles, 1874, short legend variety, after this date the legend was bolder and and 1mm closer to the edge on both sides (Pr 58; S 7208; KM 9). Extremely fine, dark tone. £50-80

60 † Victoria (1837-1901) and Edward VII (1901-1910), Bronze 2-Doubles (5), 1885H, 1889H, 1899H, 1902H, 1903H (Pr 59, 60, 61, 62, 63; S 7212; KM 9). The 1902 with a single spot at the centre of the reverse, otherwise all uncirculated with lustre. (5) £80-100

61 † Edward VII (1901-1910) and George V (1910-1936), Bronze 2-Doubles (3), 1906H, 1908H, 1911H (Pr 64, 65; 66; S 7212; KM 9). Uncirculated with much mint red. (3) £40-60

62 † George V (1910-1936), Bronze 2-Doubles (4), 1914H, 1918H, 1920H, 1929H (Pr 67, 69-71; S 7216A; KM 12). All uncirculated with light tone. (4) £40-60

63 † George V (1910-1936), Bronze Specimen 2-Doubles and 8-Doubles, 1914H (cf Pr 67, 26; S 7216A; KM 12, 14). Both as struck with a light tone. (2) £300-400 ex A L T McCammon collection, Baldwin’s Auction 20, 11 October 1999, lot 155 (part) ex RJ Ford, Spink Auction 79, 15 October 1990, lot 143, and Heaton Mint, Birmingham

64 † George V (1910-1936), Bronze 2-Doubles, 1917H (Pr 68; S 7216A; KM 12). Mint State with lightly subdued lustre. £100-150 mintage only 15,000

65 † William IV (1830-1837), Copper 4-Doubles, 1830 (Pr 35; S 7201; KM 2). Uncirculated with traces of lustre. £100-150

66 † William IV (1830-1837), Bronzed Proof 4-Doubles, 1830, die axis ↑↓ as one would expect, see lot 51 for the Proof 1830 Double with medal die axis which is something quite different from the normal Guernsey series (Pr 35A; S 7201; KM 2). Uncirculated, toned, slightly dull reverse. £120-180 ex A L T McCammon collection, Baldwin’s Auction 20, 11 October 1999, lot 142 ex Pridmore, Glendinings, 22 September 1981, lot 505

67 † Victoria (1837-1901), Copper 4-Doubles (2), 1858/30, one a later strike with the top of the “3” of the under-date worn away during the striking of the 1858 die (Pr 36; S 7204; KM 2). Both good very fine.

(2) £50-80

68 † Victoria (1837-1901), Bronze 4-Doubles, 1864, single stalk to the sprig of laurel emanating from the top of the coat of arms (Pr 38; S 7207; KM 6). Uncirculated with attractive red colour, no hint of an overdate as listed in KM. £80-100 ex Pridmore, Glendinings, 22 September 1981, lot 509 (part), with ticket

69 † Victoria (1837-1901), Bronze 4-Doubles (4), 1868 (2), 1874, 1885H (Pr 39, 40, 41 S 7207; KM 5). One 1868 with a few flan cracks on the reverse but extremely fine with some brilliance, the other possibly cleaned, good very fine, the 1874 and 1885H, both extremely fine with some mint red. (4) £50-80

70 † Victoria (1837-1901), Bronze 4-Doubles (6), 1889H, 1893H, 1902H, 1903H, 1906H, 1908H, 1910H (Pr 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48; S 7207; KM 5). All extremely fine or better with lustre. (7) £120-180 1906H and 1908H ex Pridmore collection with his tickets

71 † Edward VII (1901-1910), Bronze Specimen 4-Doubles and 8-Doubles, 1910H (cf Pr 48, 24; S 7211; KM 5).

Both choice mint state with full lustre, the 8-Doubles with a few spots but the 4-Doubles is a quite spectacular coin. (2) £300-500 ex A L T McCammon collection, Baldwin’s Auction 20, 11 October 1999, lot 154 (part) ex R J Ford, Spink Auction 79, 15 October 1990, lot 142 and Heaton Mint, Birmingham

72 † George V (1910-1936), Bronze 4-Doubles (6), 1911H, 1914H, 1918H, 1920H, 1945H, 1949H (Pr 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54; S 7215; KM 5). Generally uncirculated to about uncirculated with mint red. (6) £100-120 1914H, 1920H and 1945H ex Pridmore collection, with his tickets

73

74

73 † William IV (1830-1837), Copper 8-Doubles, 1834 (Pr 1; S 7200; KM 3). Glossy mint state, a few very light rim taps. £120-180 74 † William IV (1830-1837), Bronzed-copper Proof 8-Doubles, 1834 (Pr 1A; S 7200; KM 3a). Has been lacquered, otherwise superb uncirculated. £250-350 ex A L T McCammon collection, Baldwin’s Auction 20, 11 October 1999, lot 146 ex Pridmore, Glendinings, 22 September 1981, lot 503

75

76

75 † Victoria (1837-1901), Bronze 8-Doubles, 1864, die axis ↑↑ (Pr 7; S 7206; KM 7). Extremely fine with a touch of mint red. £50-80 76 † Victoria (1837-1901), Bronze 8-Doubles, 1868, die axis ↑↓ (Pr 9; S 7206; KM 7). Uncirculated with much mint red. £80-100

77 † Victoria (1837-1901), Bronze 8-Doubles, 1874 (Pr 14; S 7206; KM 7). Good extremely fine with much original lustre. £50-80

78 † Victoria (1837-1901), Bronze 8-Doubles (6), 1885H, 1889H, 1902H, 1903H, 1910H, 1911H (Pr 19, 20, 22, 23, 24, 25; S 7206; KM 7). Generally uncirculated with much mint red, the last about extremely fine. (6) £100-150

79 † Victoria (1837-1901), Bronze 8-Doubles (2), 1893H, first with slightly more robust lettering and date, second one with smaller, finer lettering and date (Pr 21; S 7206; KM 7). Extremely fine, the first with some mint red, second has been cleaned, traces of verdigris on the edge. (2) £50-80 There is no hint on the larger letter piece that the same die was used and just repunched the letters, so there are two dies minimum for this issue. If you have only one of these coins to look at and wonder which variety you have, the centre of the 8 in the date doesn’t touch on the small letters variety, while it touches on the large letters one.

80 † George V (1910-1936), Bronze 8-Doubles (6), 1918H, 1920H, 1945H, 1947H, 1949H (2) (Pr 27, 28, 32, 33, 34; S 7214A; KM 14). Generally uncirculated with mint red, the second 1949H has been lightly polished. (6) £80-100

81 † George V (1910-1936), Bronze Specimen 8-Doubles, 1934H (cf Pr 29; S 7214A; KM 14). In PCGS holder graded SP63RD, appears to have been lacquered. £120-180 It is not easy to be sure through the plastic holder, if the coin has been lacquered, but it does seem that the evident light hairlines are in lacquer rather than on the coin. This has probably resulted in the coin being graded ‘only’ as a “63”, visually it is better than this grade.

82 † George VI (1936-1952), Bronze 8-Doubles (2), 1938H, with two different finishes to the surfaces (Pr 31; KM 14). First uncirculated with prooflike surfaces, the second is uncirculated with almost full lustre, struck with a somewhat worn die. (2) £50-80 The first has prooflike surfaces that is close to being a “Specimen” and is easy to believe it is from the Heaton Mint Archive dispersal.

There was a “Proof” in Ford’s collection, lot 144, but it was unlikely to have been more prooflike than this example. Despite the misnomer, this is probably as fine as can be found, though obviously not up to the standard of the coin in the previous lot.

83 † George VI (1936-1952), Cupro-nickel 8-Doubles, 1945H, central hole (Pr -; S -; KM -). Uncirculated and very rare, unrecorded in both Pridmore and Krause. £300-400 ex A L T McCammon collection, Baldwin’s Auction 20, 11 October 1999, lot 160 There would be no reason whatsoever to ever think of this as a circulating coin and it is not a planchet taken from the BWA Penny bin, so it is not an ‘error’ as such. One possibility is that the metal, cupro-nickel, was considered for the Guernsey coins, and when that thought went no further than to strike this one coin. The mint holed it to make sure it didn’t go into circulation.

84 † Victoria (1837-1901), Copper 1/52-Shilling, 1841, 1 over 0 (cf Pr 52; S 7003; KM 1). About uncirculated with a clear overdate. £100-150 85 † Victoria (1837-1901), Copper Proof 1/52-Shilling, 1861 (Pr 53; S 7003; KM 1). Light scratch on Victoria’s cheek and with streaky tone on the obverse, otherwise as struck for this proof only issue. £400-600 86 † Victoria (1837-1901), Bronze 1/48-Shilling, 1877H (Pr 54; S 7008; KM 6). Mostly brilliant uncirculated. £80-100

87 † Victoria (1837-1901), Three Piece Bronze Specimen Set, 1/48-Shilling, 1/24-Shilling and 1/12-Shilling, 1877H (Pr 54A, 37A, 12A). As struck, with golden tone, the two larger denominations appear to have been lacquered but still have a bit of tone, the 1/48-Shilling is not lacquered and brilliant. (3) £400-600 ex A L T McCammon collection, Baldwin’s Auction 20, 11 October 1999, lot 201 The number of pieces that came out in 1975 from the Heaton Archive only gives us a partial answer as to how many Specimen sets were struck, as they were known to exist, with and without the H before 1975. But we know four each of the larger pieces and nine of the 1/48-Shilling were in the Mint holdings.

88 † Victoria (1837-1901), Three Piece Bronze Proof Set, 1/12-Shilling, 1/24-Shilling and 1/48-Shilling, 1877 (Pr 54B, 37B, 12B). Uncirculated with patchy red tone. (3) £800-1200 ex A L T McCammon collection, Baldwin’s Auction 20, 11 October 1999, lot 201 It has been difficult to get a consensus on these non H mm coins that ended up being struck in a small number, but where?

Possibly at the Heaton Mint, or did the Royal Mint produce the die, strike a few for their records and then send the dies off to Birmingham where Heaton added the H?

89 † Victoria (1837-1901), Copper 1/26-Shilling, 1841 (Pr 29; S 7002; KM 2). Uncirculated with subdued mint red. £80-100

90 † Victoria (1837-1901), Copper Proof 1/26-Shilling, 1841 (Pr 29A). Mint state with lustrous dark red tone, rare. £300-400 ex A L T McCammon collection, Baldwin’s Auction 20, 11 October 1999, lot 175

Uncirculated with subdued mint red, heavily double-punched “8” in the date. £80-100 ex A L T McCammon collection, Baldwin’s Auction 20, 11 October 1999, lot 185

93 † Victoria (1837-1901), Copper 1/26-Shilling, 1858 (Pr 32). Uncirculated with mint red. £80-100 ex Pridmore collection, with his ticket

94 † Victoria (1837-1901), Copper Proof 1/26-Shilling, 1858 (Pr 32A). Two tiny dents on Victoria’s cheek, otherwise as struck with dark red tone. £300-400

95 † Victoria (1837-1901), Copper 1/26-Shilling, 1861 (Pr 33). Uncirculated with mint red. ex Pridmore collection, with his ticket

£80-100

97 † Victoria (1837-1901), Bronze 1/26-Shilling (2), 1866, 1871 (Pr 34, 36; S 7005; KM 4). Uncirculated with some dull mint red. (2) £100-150 While these may catalogue less than their earlier copper ‘brothers’, they are no easier to find in nice grade.

98 † Victoria (1837-1901), Copper Proof 1/26-Shilling, 1866 (Pr 34A; S 7005; KM 4). A couple of dark spots on the obverse, otherwise about uncirculated with dark red tone. £150-200 ex A L T McCammon collection, Baldwin’s Auction 20, 11 October 1999, lot 192 (part)

99 † Victoria (1837-1901), Bronze 1/26-Shilling, 1870 (Pr 70). A few light marks, otherwise uncirculated with a lot of mint red, unusually nice for this issue. £80-100

100 † Victoria (1837-1901), Unique Bronze Pattern 1/26-Shilling, undated (1866), as currency issue but without obverse legend (Pr -; S -; KM Pn1). Good extremely fine and unique. £2000-3000 ex Pridmore, Glendinings, 22 September 1981, lot 528 ex R J Ford, Spink Auction 79, 15 October 1990, lot 293 ex A L T McCammon collection, Baldwin’s Auction 20, 11 October 1999, lot 193 One of my memories of the Pridmore sale is this coin and Dick Ford. When it came to expensive patterns or proofs, Dick usually got what he wanted without a great deal of difficulty. When this piece came up for sale he had one other collector, Mr. McCammon to contend with, who also really wanted this coin and the price was bid up well past its estimate and it sold for £2,600, quite a bit of money for a pattern in 1981.

101 † Victoria (1837-1901), Bronze Proof 1/26-Shilling, 1870 (Pr 35A; S 7005; KM 4). Uncirculated, toned with choice surfaces. £150-200 ex Remick collection, Spink Auction 185, 29 October 2006, lot 767

102 † Victoria (1837-1901), Bronze Proof 1/26-Shilling, 1871 (Pr 36A). Uncirculated, toned with choice surfaces. £150-200 ex R J Ford, Spink Auction 79, 15 October 1990, lot 294 ex A L T McCammon collection, Baldwin’s Auction 20, 11 October 1999, lot 196 (part)

104 † Victoria (1837-1901), Bronze Specimen Proof 1/24-Shilling, 1894 (Pr 39A; S 7007; KM 7). In NGC holder graded PF65RB. £250-350 Struck more to the standard of the earlier Heaton specimen coins, than the copper proofs.

105 † Edward VII (1901-1910), Bronze 1/24-Shilling, 1909, and Bronze Matte Proof 1/24-Shilling, 1909 (Pr 40; S 7010; KM 9). First uncirculated, the second with minor dark spots both sides, otherwise as struck and unrecorded as a Proof, probably unique. (2) £1000-1500 the Proof ex ‘Property of a Gentleman’, Spink Auction 115, 9 October 1996, lot 1446 and ex A L T McCammon collection, Baldwin’s Auction 20, 11 October 1999, lot 204, sold for £700 Mark Rasmussen at Spink said at the time of the sale to McCammon that this was part of the South Africa Mint Dispersal, which would make it one of the earliest coins to come from that source.

106 † George V (1910-1936), Bronze 1/24-Shillings (2), 1911, 1913 (Pr 41, 42; S 7012; KM 11). First FDC, the second uncirculated and partially red. (2) £30-50

The flan crack would not have easily satisfied the two other serious collectors of this series, but maybe this was the best they could find. Perhaps the rarity has not really been acknowledged.

124 † Victoria (1837-1901), Bronze 1/13-Shilling, 1871 (Pr 11; S 7004; KM 5).

Uncirculated. £800-1000 The existence of these two trials (see also next lot), in this cataloguer’s eyes, strongly support the argument that the Royal Mint struck the non H mintmark 1877 coinage. They had experience with all the 1868 cupro-nickel British coins. The finish of these pieces is superior to any of the 1869 Jamaica proofs seen, so the argument goes back to a Royal Mint issue. There is strong evidence in the obverse letters of a double striking that the next piece does not have, giving this coin the proof look which is somewhat subdued in the next piece.

128 † Victoria (1837-1901), Cupro-nickel Trial Specimen 1/12-Shilling, 1877, on a thick flan, 12.16g (Pr -; S -; KM -). Uncirculated with moderate tone, probably unique. £1000-1500 ex A L T McCammon collection, Baldwin’s Auction 20, 11 October 1999, lot 198 The moderate tone on this piece shows that it has not been in the same hands as the previous piece since it was struck. The differences in the fields could be explained by the weight of the planchet, not its surface.

129 † Victoria (1837-1901), Bronze Proof 1/12-Shilling, 1894 (Pr 15A; S 7006; KM 8). Uncirculated, patchy lacquer and a few hairlines in the lacquer. £250-350

£300-400

There is some disagreement on whether this is a Proof. The 1887 coins do come quite proof-like but always with these die marks mentioned earlier. The reverse of this coin has enough of a proof’s characteristics to automatically call it such. The obverse though is very much like the regular proof-like coins of this date. It has the marks in the fields and a fingerprint on the Queen’s chin and into the field. Aesthetics will dictate what this coin brings, not its striking status.

194 † George VI (1936-1952), Copper ½-Piastre, 1942 (Pr 71; KM 22a). Overall about uncirculated, fingerprint on the reverse. £50-80 Due to the fact that the bulk of the mintage was lost during WWII, when the transporting ship was sunk, this coin is considerably rarer than the actual mintage figure would suggest.

209 † George V (1910-1936), Silver 9-Piastres, 1919 (Pr 13; KM 13). Tiniest of marks in the field, otherwise bright about uncirculated. £200-300 This is the other date that showed up in some quantity (perhaps a 50 piece roll) in choice mint state and were quickly purchased

by North American collectors, as that is where the roll first appeared. These are all gone now and show up only when a really good collection of Cyprus coins come up for sale. I do not believe this piece was part of that group as they seemed to be mostly free of marks.

210 † George V (1910-1936), Silver 9-Piastres, 1921 (Pr 14; KM 13). Choice mint state.

£400-600

This coin has never shown up in any number and is easily the finest I have seen of the date.

211 † George V (1910-1936), Silver 18-Piastres, 1921 (Pr 5; KM 14). Lightly toned, about very fine.

£80-100

215 † George VI (1936-1952), Silver 18-Piastres and 9-Piastres, 1940 (Pr 7, 16; KM 26, 25). Both choice about uncirculated, the first lightly toned. (2) £100-150

(3) £2000-2500 I believe these are ex South Africa Mint dispersals. The toning is attractive with lots of blues and reds. I am aware of one other set that was brilliant and with a matte finish. There appears to be more of a brilliant proof surface to these, but difficult to be certain through the tone

219 † George V (1910-1936), Bronze Two Piece Proof Set, ½-Piastre and Piastre, 1927 (KM 17, 18). Brilliant uncirculated Proofs, lacquered. (2) £4000-6000 When one looks at these, wonderful comes to mind, despite the bit of unevenness in the fields due to the lacquering, but the brilliance and the rarity of the date in presentable condition just shouts at all who will look at these coins. For what it is worth, we paid $1,000 for these back in the 1980s, so should be worth more now!

220 † George V (1910-1936), Cupro-nickel Two Piece Proof Set, ½-Piastre and Piastre, 1934 (KM PS6). Brilliant uncirculated Proofs with a touch of toning. (2) £1000-1500 ex Canada Mint duplicate trade. as seems to be a common occurrence, there was more care taken in the production of the 1-Piastre than the ½.

(5) £2000-3000 ex South Africa Mint dispersal. Both the Canadian and Australian mints had duplicates of these sets that they either sold (AustraliaVictoria Mint sale) or traded for coins that were needed to show Mint visitors the coins that could be found in circulation in Canada since the Seventeeth century.

ASIAN TERRITORIES

Ceylon

Ceylon is one of the most interesting series of coins of the British Commonwealth. It has the crude but very pleasing local silver and copper pieces from 1801-1816, together with some beautifully engraved Soho mint strikings, the 1802 coinages that circulated and the 1804 pieces to sell to contemporary collectors because of the very popular design. Then in 1815 the Royal Mint stepped in to strike some impressive copper coins and a beautiful Rix Dollar that ended up being heavily used. The importance of Ceylon as a source of raw materials for use in England was not lost on for the coinage, and we get to see the truth in this when the Royal Mint started striking coins specifically for Ceylon in 1870, that finally ended during the reign of George VI.

265 † George III (1760-1820), Silver 48-Stivers (Rix Dollar), 1803, elephant facing left (KM 77; Pr 5). Very fine. £150-200 It would be interesting to speculate on why the elephant to the left was the preferred position.

266 † George III (1760-1820), Silver 48-Stivers (Rix Dollar), 1804, no punctuation between CEYLON and GOVERNMENT (KM 77; Pr 6). Choice extremely fine. £250-350

274 † George III (1760-1820), Copper 1/192-Rix Dollar, 1802 (KM 73; Pr 87). Uncirculated, red and brown with 50% mint red, rarer than the Proof in such high grade as this. £150-200

275 † George III (1760-1820), Bronzed-copper Proof 1/192-Rix Dollar, 1802 (KM 73; Pr 87a). Choice uncirculated. £150-200

276 † George III (1760-1820), Three Piece Gilt-copper Proof Set, 1/192-Rix Dollar, 1/96-Rix Dollar and 1/48-Rix Dollar, 1802 (KM 73, 74, 75; Pr 83B, 86B, 87B). Some verdigris spots and patches on all three, otherwise all choice about uncirculated to uncirculated. (3) £500-800

278 † George III (1760-1820), Tin/White Metal 1/48-Rix Dollar Die Trial, c.1802, thick planchet, obv elephant to left, date below, cross hatch lines across the face to ensure that the design was in proper proportion, rev large “48” at centre, CEYLON GOVERNMENT around (Pr 83C). As made and extremely rare, probably unique. £500-800 ex RJ Ford collection, Singapore Coin Auction 19, 23 February 1995, lot 179 and considered unique Pridmore says lead, but this is where the catch all term “white metal” comes in handy The lines on the obverse were scratched by hand and stayed within the inner circle and on one side only. There are very slight differences from this die and on the dies used to strike the proofs, most noticeable in the width of the elephant’s tail.

279

280

279 † George III (1760-1820), Bronzed Copper Proof 1/48-Rix Dollar, 1802 (KM 75). In PCGS holder graded PR65. £200-300 280 † George III (1760-1820), Copper Proof 1/48-Rix Dollar, 1804 (KM 75). In NGC holder graded PR63RB. £200-300 These were not supposed to have been issued for circulation and were struck as a proof only. We have seen a few of these in circulated grade and disagree that this was struck as a proof, so MS 63 RB would be more appropriate. There is a bit of die rust above the elephant that we should use as a marker for pieces seen.

281 † George III (1760-1820), Copper Three Piece Proof Set, ½-Stiver, Stiver and 2-Stiver, 1815 (KM 80, 81, 82.1; Pr 90A, 91A, 92A). All uncirculated with evenly matched mahogany brown tone, a touch of mint red on each, the 2-Stivers with a few handling marks, overall a lovely set. (3) £800-1000

ex Wheeler collection, Baldwin’s Auction 22, 2 May 2000, lot 340 and Spink auction, 23 March 1989, lot 1465, where described as ex V Brand Very similar to the George IV coinage of 1821. Pridmore has made the argument that this is a proof and not a pattern. Generally, we have called coins made, but not issued for circulation as patterns, but Pridmore argues that 10,000 were supposed to have been issued, but as it never happened, what is the proper description for this coin? All known pieces were struck as proofs and this pushes the argument back to describing them as patterns, as they did not enter circulation.

284 † George IV (1820-1830), Silver Rix-Dollar, 1821 (KM 84; Pr 82). Good extremely fine, nicely toned obverse with a very frosty reverse. £400-600 This was to be the last silver coin struck specifically for Ceylon until 1892

Patterns

285 † George III (1760-1820), Copper Pattern Fanam (1/12-Rix Dollar), struck over a Copper VOC Doit, 1815, obv elephant facing left, CEYLON GOV above, date below, rev FANAM around, 1/12 in centre (Pr 257; KM Pn5). Extremely fine, flan crack as struck, unique. £800-1000 ex RJ Ford collection, Singapore Coin Auction 19, 23 February 1995, lot 247 Pridmore says these have the appearance of a local workshop and the coin was intended to replace the silver fanam token issued in 1814 (Pr 23). The original metal was supposed to be lead according to Pridmore, but maybe acknowledging the deterioration of the Bombay Presidency 1740-1771 tin coinages (again, a matter of semantics, white metal=tin=lead?) they tried a copper piece as well, but in the end nothing came of it except this unique reminder of a new coinage.

286

287

286 † George III (1760-1820), Copper Pattern 1/48-Rupee, 1794, obv balemark of the East India Company, UNITED EAST INDIA COMPANY 1794 in incuse letters on the broad flat rim, rev elephant facing left, “48” below, BY WISDOM AND FORCE in incuse letters on the broad flat rim, TO ONE RUPEE in relief within depression, edge ENGLISH.UNITED.EAST.INDIA.COMPANY & (Pr 259). Good extremely fine and toned. £500-800 ex HA Parsons collection, 11 May 1954, lot 940, sold for £12/10

Very weakly struck but no real wear, overall about very fine, probably struck unofficially to be used as a pocket piece. £300-400

289

289 † George III (1760-1820), Copper Pattern 1/48-Rupee mule, 1802/1808, obv Madras Presidency 20Cash as KM 321, rev elephant facing left, date in exergue, not struck as a Proof (Pr 262). Extremely fine. £500-800 290 † George III (1760-1820), Copper Pattern 1/48-Rupee mule, 1802/1808, obv Madras Presidency 20-Cash as KM 321, rev elephant facing left, date in exergue, the edge has been ‘squeezed’ by 1mm in an attempt to raise the letters without going through the efforts of making a flat rim to place the inscription upon (Pr 262). Very fine. £400-600

291 † George III (1760-1820), Gilt Copper Pattern 1/48-Rupee mule, 1802/1808, obv Madras Presidency 20Cash as KM 321, rev elephant facing left, date in exergue (Pr 262). Extremely fine. £500-800 The gilding is not mint produced but it is of some age.

Decimal Currency, 1869-1952

292 † Victoria (1837-1901) and Edward VII (1901-1910), Copper ¼-Cents (5), 1870, 1890, 1898, 1901, 1904 (KM 90, 100). All mint state with varying amounts of mint red. (5) £80-100

293 † Victoria (1837-1901), Copper Proof ¼-Cent, 1891, proof only date, (KM 90). Uncirculated proof, toned, with a little dirt on the obverse. £200-300 As with many proof only dates, the ¼-Cent was rarely struck up to proof standards. These proof only dates add another dimension to the collecting of the coins of Ceylon. We know about the restrikes of India and that there were Off Metal Strikes in silver and gold for that country. Most of the coins of Ceylon were struck in Calcutta. We expect that the India series had a much larger home market than the small island of Ceylon, even back in the 19th century, so why were these struck?

294 † Victoria (1837-1901), Copper ½-Cents (5), 1870 (impaired proof), 1890, 1895, 1898, 1901 (KM 91). All mint state with varying amounts of mint red, the Proof toned but with some handling marks and a spot under the bust.

(5) £150-200

301

300 † Victoria (1837-1901), Copper 5-Cents, 1870 (KM 93). Mint state with 20% mint red. £80-100 301 † Victoria (1837-1901), Copper 5-Cents, 1890 (KM 93). Mint state with almost full mint red, slight spotting on the obverse. £120-180

302 † Victoria (1837-1901), Copper 5-Cents, 1892 (KM 93). Mint state with 20% mint red. £100-150

303 † Edward VII (1901-1910) and George V (1910-1936), Cupro-nickel 5-Cents (5), 1909, 1910, 1912H, 1920, 1926 (KM 103). All mint state. (5) £120-180

304 † Victoria (1837-1901), Silver 10-Cents (6), 1892, 1893, 1894, 1897, 1899 (KM 94). All choice mint state, most with attractive tone. (5) £250-300 An excellent opportunity to buy these coins that so rarely show up choice these days.

305 † Edward VII (1901-1910), Silver 10-Cents (6), 1902, 1903, 1907, 1908, 1909, 1910 (KM 104). Generally good extremely fine to uncirculated. (6) £250-300 The silver coins of Edward are many times harder to find in nice condition than those of Victoria and George V.

306 † George V (1910-1936) and George VI (1936-1952), Silver 10-Cents (14), 1911, 1912, 1913, 1914, 1917, 1919B, 1920B, 1921B, 1922, 1924, 1925, 1926, 1927, 1928 (KM 104a). Generally mint state. (14) £300-400 These are the best that we could find for each date in many years of looking. A wonderful run of nice coins that would be very hard to duplicate.

307 † Victoria (1837-1901), Silver 25-Cents (2), 1892, 1893 (KM 95). Uncirculated, the 1892 toned. (2)

308 † Victoria (1837-1901), Silver 25-Cents (3), 1895, 1899, 1900 (KM 95). Choice mint state. (3)

£100-150

£100-150

314

313 † Victoria (1837-1901), Silver 50-Cents, 1893 (KM 96). Choice mint state. £100-150 314 † Victoria (1837-1901), Silver 50-Cents, 1894 (KM 96). In PCGS holder graded MS64, very attractively toned. £100-150

315 † Victoria (1837-1901), Silver 50-Cents (2), 1899, 1900 (KM 96). Good extremely fine. (2)

£50-80

316 † Edward VII (1901-1910), Silver 50-Cents, 1902 (KM 99). In PCGS holder graded MS63, frosty and probably undergraded. £100-150

320 † George V (1910-1936), Silver 50-Cents (5), 1925, 1926, 1927, 1928, 1929 (KM 109a). Choice mint state.

Proofs

321 † Victoria (1837-1901), Four Piece Bronzed-copper Proof Set, ¼-Cent, ½-Cent, Cent and 5-Cents, 1870 (KM 90-93). About uncirculated to uncirculated, some handling marks on the 5-Cents, and a spot on the obverse of the ¼-Cent. (4) £400-600

322 † Victoria (1837-1901), Three Piece Silver OMS Proof Set, ¼-Cent, ½-Cent and Cent, 1870, off metal strikes in silver (KM 90a, 91a, 92a). All uncirculated with a number of light handling marks. (3) £400-600 strangely no 5-Cent was struck in silver for this year

323 † Victoria (1837-1901), Three Piece Copper Proof Set, ½-Cent, Cent and 5-Cents, 1890 (KM 91, 92, 93).

Not a matching set in terms of colour, the ½-Cent and 5-Cents uncirculated and toned with a bit of mint red, the Cent brilliant mint state. (3) £600-800

324 † Victoria (1837-1901), Four Piece Silver OMS Proof Set, ¼-Cent, ½-Cent, Cent and 5-Cents, 1890, off metal strikes in silver (KM 90a, 91a, 92a, 93a). Choice uncirculated Proofs, the set with evenly matched tone.

(4) £2000-3000 Krause doesn’t list the 5-Cents. This has all the appearance on being an early striking, but much more study needs to be done on these coins to allow us to gauge accurately when they were struck. The trouble is there are not enough coins in the market place to allow a good study of their striking characteristics.

325 † Victoria (1837-1901), Copper Proof Cent, 1891 (KM 92). Choice uncirculated Proof with 20% mint red. £120-180

326 † Victoria (1837-1901), Copper Proof 5-Cents, 1891, proof only date (KM 93). Choice uncirculated Proof. £300-500

327 † Victoria (1837-1901), Proof Silver OMS 5-Cents, 1891, off metal strike in silver (KM 93a). Uncirculated Proof, cleaned at some time in the past but has re-toned to a grey/silver colour. £300-500

328 † Victoria (1837-1901), Four Piece Silver OMS Proof Set, ¼-Cent, ½-Cent, Cent and 5-Cents, 1892, off metal strikes in silver (KM 91a, 91a, 92a, 93). All in PCGS holders, the ¼-Cent graded PR62, brilliant, the ½-Cent graded PR63, pleasantly toned, the Cent graded PR63, brilliant, the 5-Cents graded PR63, typical grey colour of this series and probably better than PR63. (4) £2000-3000

329 † Victoria (1837-1901), Silver 50-Cents, 1893 (KM 96). In PCGS holder graded PR63CAM, spot on the reverse. £400-600 These come struck from fresh dies with a prooflike finish, giving them the appearance of a poor quality proof. This has fooled collectors and grading services, but this is not the case with this one.

330 † Victoria (1837-1901), Silver OMS Proof ¼-Cent, 1898, off metal strike in silver (KM 90a). Uncirculated Proof, toned and pleasant. £150-200 For some reason only the ¼- and ½-Cent were struck in silver, which hints to me that it was done to order and very few would have been made.

331 † Edward VII (1901-1910), Silver Three Piece Matte Proof Set, 10-Cents, 25-Cents and 50-Cents, 1902 (KM 97, 98, 99). All in PCGS holders, graded PR63, PR63, PR63 respectively, all with the dark grey tone which seems to be the characteristic of these coins. (3) £700-900 Matte proof surfaces are partially toned to begin with so it didn’t take long to acquire a darker colour.

332 G Edward VII (1901-1910), Gold OMS Proof ¼-Cent, 1904, off metal strike in gold (KM 100a). Uncirculated proof but with numerous handling marks. £1000-1500 Why something so special was mishandled is a question common to many wonderful coins. Why would they go to all the trouble to make this coin in gold and then ignore its aesthetics?

333

334

335

333 † Edward VII (1901-1910), Copper Proof ½-Cent, 1908 (KM 101). Choice uncirculated Proof with 40% mint red. £250-350 ex RJ Ford collection, Singapore Coin Auction 19, 23 February 1995, lot 227 (part) and Wayte Raymond collection, NASCA, 14 August 1987, lot 906

334 † George V (1910-1936), Copper Proof ½-Cent, 1912 (KM 106). A little spotting on the King’s bust, otherwise brilliant uncirculated Proof. £200-300 ex RJ Ford collection, Singapore Coin Auction 19, 23 February 1995, lot 228 (part)

335 † George V (1910-1936), Copper Proof ½-Cent, 1937 (KM 110). Brilliant uncirculated proof. £200-300 ex RJ Ford collection, Singapore Coin Auction 19, 23 February 1995, lot 235.

336 † George VI (1936-1952), Copper ½-Cent, struck on small flan, obv type 1, as seen on the 1937 coinage of Ceylon, without legend, rev “½ Cent Ceylon” in Tamil, palm tree in the centre. Not struck as a proof, about very fine. £15-20 The collector bought this as a pattern, but it is more likely a mint sport or simply the currency coin cut down.

337

338

337 † Edward VII (1901-1910), Copper Proof Cent, 1908 (Pr 207A; KM 102). Brilliant Proof, subdued red, one spot on the obverse. £250-350 ex RJ Ford collection, Singapore Coin Auction 19, 23 February 1995, lot 227, part and Wayte Raymond collection, NASCA, 14 August 1987, lot 907

338 † Edward VII (1901-1910), Copper Proof Cent, 1909 (KM 102). Brilliant uncirculated Proof, mostly toned medium brown, a few light spots. £200-300 I find it fascinating that Krause has virtually every coin listed as being known in proof, while I have seen very few of these proofs and yet for some countries, some very obvious proofs that show quite frequently, are still not listed.

339

340

341

339 † George V (1910-1936), Copper Proof Cent, 1912 (KM 107). Gem brilliant uncirculated Proof, one small spot on the obverse that does not really detract from the beauty of the coin. £200-300 340 † George V (1910-1936), Copper Proof Cent, 1928 (KM 107). Uncirculated Proof, toned an unusual brown and green (not verdigris) colour, otherwise mint state. £100-150 341 † George VI (1936-1952), Bronze Proof Cent, 1945 (KM 111a). Brilliant uncirculated proof, toned but no doubt an original striking. £100-150 KM has the restrike only listed but the difference between the two strikings very obvious.

342 † George VI (1936-1952), Nickel-Brass Proof 2-Cents, 1944 (KM 117). Brilliant uncirculated Proof. £150-200

343

344

343 † George V (1910-1936), Cupro-nickel Specimen 5-Cents, 1912H (KM 108). Uncirculated and very rare. £120-180 It has the appearance of a cleaned coin but it is ex Heaton Mint archives, and most of those coins were not cleaned. There were a few that had been improperly stored, so came with a bit of a funny surface. We are also aware that the coins that had been on display had been cleaned sometime in the past.

344 † George VI (1936-1952), Nickel-brass Proof 5-Cents, 1945 (KM 113.2). Uncirculated proof, toned and one carbon spot on the reverse but no doubt an original striking. £120-180 It is amazing to think that the various mints would go to the trouble to strike only a few proofs during war years.

345

346

347

345 † George V (1910-1936), Silver Proof 10-Cents, 1919B (KM 104a). Numerous light marks mar the frosted bust and mirror surfaces, large carbon spot on the reverse but certainly a proof. £50-80 ex RJ Ford collection, Singapore Coin Auction 19, 23 February 1995, lot 230, part There is no doubt it is a proof but it was badly unloved by its previous owners., so again we are dealing with a coin that 40 years of serious collectors could not improve upon.

346 † George V (1910-1936), Silver Proof 10-Cents, 1926 (KM 104a). Choice uncirculated proof, a somewhat matte finish but the die polishing characteristics of a proof are very evident. £200-300 347 † George V (1910-1936), Silver Proof 10-Cents, 1927 (KM 104a). Choice uncirculated Proof, has been lacquered except for two places on the edge that were missed and has now toned black but still very pleasing with deep mirror surfaces. £200-300 ex South African mint dispersals

348 † George V (1910-1936), Silver Proof 10-Cents, 1928 (KM 104a). Choice uncirculated Proof, moderately toned, the surfaces a little more in line with the 1926-Cents (lot 346), although the frostiness of the bust is very sharp. £200-300

349 † George VI (1936-1952), Nickel-brass Proof 10-Cents, 1944 (KM 118). Gem brilliant uncirculated Proof. £200-300

350

351

352

350 † George V (1910-1936), Silver Matte Proof 25-Cents, 1913 (KM 105). Toned, otherwise mint state. £200-300 351 † George V (1910-1936), Silver Proof 25-Cents, 1919B (KM 105a). Brilliant Proof, numerous marks otherwise about mint state. £100-150 ex RJ Ford collection, Singapore Coin Auction 19, 23 February 1995, lot 230, part

352 † George V (1910-1936), Silver Proof 25-Cents, 1926 (KM 105a). Brilliant gem uncirculated Proof, magnificently toned, quite amazing. £300-400

353

354

353 † Victoria (1837-1901), Silver Proof 50-Cents, 1892 (KM 96). Uncirculated Proof, moderately toned and slightly dull. £250-350 354 † Edward VII (1901-1910), Silver Matte Proof 50-Cents, 1903 (KM 99). Uncirculated Proof with a deep matte surface. £300-400

355

356

355 † George V (1910-1936), Silver Proof 50-Cents, 1913 (KM 109). Brilliant uncirculated Proof, toned.

£300-400

Now why did the mint strike a matte proof 25-Cents and brilliant proof 50-Cents for this date? Was it for a specific order? Another question to be answered sometime.

356 † George V (1910-1936), Aluminium Pattern 50-Cents, 1925, 1.7g (KM 109a for type). A number of marks, otherwise about uncirculated Proof. £500-800

357

358

359

357 † George V (1910-1936), Silver Proof 50-Cents, 1926. (KM 109a). Mint state Proof, has been lacquered. £250-350 358 † George V (1910-1936), Silver Proof 50-Cents, 1927 (KM 109a). Mint state Proof, has been lacquered. £250-350 ex South Africa mint dispersal

359 † George V (1910-1936), Silver Proof 50-Cents, 1928 (KM 109a). Mint state Proof, has been lacquered. £250-350

360

361

360 † George V (1910-1936), Silver Proof 50-Cents, 1929 (KM 109a). Mint state Proof, has been lacquered. £250-350 361 † George VI (1936-1952), Silver Proof 50-Cents, 1942 (KM 114). Uncirculated Proof, toned with quite a few small marks under the tone. £200-300 ex RJ Ford collection, Singapore Coin Auction 19, 23 February 1995, lot 236, part It was the best that Dick Ford could find as well, making one wonder how rare this really is, especially for those who knew how fastidious Ford was for finding the best he possibly could and trading for better if the opportunity arose.

362 † George VI (1936-1952), Brass Pattern 50-Cents, 1943 (KM Pn10). Mint state Proof, toned.

£1000-1500

ex Remick collection, he has written on his envelope that 6-10 are known, which I think is too many. He paid $500 for it in 1974 from an individual in Ceylon.

This was struck to the same design as the 1942 coinage, even though a 1943 in brass coinage was struck to a new design.

363 † George VI (1936-1952), Nickel-brass Three Piece Original Proof Set, 10-Cents, 25-Cents and 50-Cents, 1951 (KM 121, 122, 123). Choice uncirculated Proofs, moderately toned. (3) £400-600 While priced for very little in Krause, these original proofs are as rare as most of the other coins of the Ceylon series. I trust that long time collectors of this series will recognise this and bid accordingly.

364 † Edward VII (1901-1910)/ Victoria (1837-1901), Unique Copper Four Piece Mule Set ¼-Cent, ½-Cent, Cent and 5-Cents, 1892, obv crowned bust of Edward VII to right, EDWARD VII KING & EMPEROR (obvs KM 100, 101, 102, Pn 8; revs KM 90, 91, 92, 93). Uncirculated Proofs, the ¼-Cent toned with a few light marks, the ½-Cent and Cent brilliant with subdued red, the 5-Cents toned with a few minor spots, a most impressive coin. (4) £7000-9000 There were no large copper 5-Cents struck as proofs or pirculation strikes for Edward in Ceylon. The bust is crowned and as that on the regular coinage. Obviously someone with serious influence had this set struck, due to the work involved. Using the 1892 reverse dies would have saved some effort as they already existed. The large size 1904 5-Cent in the Remick sale (Spink auction 6009, 18 October 2006, lot 231) sold for £10,500 hammer.

Republic of Sri Lanka

365 † Republic, Six Piece Proof Set, Aluminium Cent, 2-Cents, Nickel-brass 5-Cents, 10-Cents, Cupro-nickel 25-Cents and 50-Cents, 1963 (KM 127-132). Brilliant uncirculated Proofs. (6) £200-300

366

367

366 † Republic, Aluminium Pattern Cent, 1978, design as used on the 16.1mm coinage, while this is 30mm (KM -; Pr -). Brilliant uncirculated and prooflike, a number of raised marks in the reverse fields that came from the dies. £100-150 367 † Republic, Nickel-brass Trial 5-Cents, 1968, as the currency issue, TRIAL in the field on both sides, struck at the Heaton mint (KM Pn12). Brilliant uncirculated. £80-100

368

369

368 † Republic, Nickel-brass Trial 10-Cents, 1965, as the currency issue, TRIAL in the field on both sides, struck at the Heaton mint (KM Pn11). Brilliant uncirculated. £80-100 369 † Republic, Nickel-brass Proof 10-Cents, 1969 (KM 130, not listed as a proof). Choice uncirculated Proof. £80-100 Tokens

370 † Carey Strachan & Co, Union Mills, Columbo, 1d Token (Pr 14); Ceylon Company Ltd, St Sebastian Mills, 4½d and 2½d Tokens (Pr 18, 19); Colombo Commercial, Slave Island Mills Token, 1876 (Pr 22); Colombo Coffee Pickers, 4½d Chit and rectangle 2¼d Chit (Pr 33, 34). First cleaned, generally extremely fine to uncirculated. (6) £150-200

371 † G.R.P. & Co, 4½d Token (Pr 42); Colombo, 19-Cents Token (Pr 46); Keir Douglas & Co, Brass Token, ship (Pr 52); Lee Hedges & Co, Demattagodde Mills Token, 1876 (Pr 62); Hultsdorf Mills, Black Vulcanite Token and Red Vulcanite Token (Pr 64, 65). First three about uncirculated, the others extremely fine.(6) £200-300

372 † Machlachan, McKenzie Token (Pr 68); Robertson & Co Token (Pr 82); Sabonadiere & Co, Ambewatte Mills Token, 1877 (Pr 86); Sabonadiere & Co, Maddema Mills Tin Token, 1877 (Pr 87); A B Scott & Co, Coffee Store Token, 1859 (Pr 88); George Steuart & Co, Wekande Mills Token, 1843 (Pr 96); Wall & Co Token (Pr 107). Generally fine to very fine, the Ambewatte Mills and Wekande Tokens better. (7) £200-300

373 † Tokens (9), J Allemakkoon, Alstons Scott & Co, Carey Strachan & Co, St Sebastian Mills Ceylon Co Ltd, Keir Dundas & Co (2), MDD & Co (2), GPO, struck incuse on Ceylon Silver 5-Cents, 1927 (Pr 1, 2, 14, 17, 53, 54, 72, -). Generally very fine to extremely fine. (9) £150-200

Straits Settlements

374 † East India Company, Victoria (1837-1901), Copper ¼-Cent, 1845 (KM 1; Pr 5). Choice uncirculated with some mint red. £200-300

375 † Government of India (1858-1867), Victoria (1837-1901), Copper Proof ¼-Cent, 1862 (KM 4; Pr 3). Glossy Brown uncirculated Proof. £800-1000 As with these early proofs, very few have made it to the 21st century looking anything like they did when first struck. Fortunately this has seen good care and has just toned. Not in any of the major collections we have been keeping track of, but we don’t know what Dick Ford had as his collection went to a bank in Singapore ‘en masse’. To find a choice mint state of this date is almost as difficult as this proof.

376

377

378

376 † Victoria (1837-1901), Copper Proof ¼-Cent, 1872H (KM 7; Pr 211). Choice uncirculated with some mint red. £100-150 One of the numerous pieces from the Heaton Mint Archive where most of them had toned. This seems to be a date where a number of different countries’ coins were kept in quantity. The trouble is that they were not kept with any care so most have spots and handling marks. Finding a choice brilliant example of this coin is as difficult though as finding choice examples of some dates with much lower mintages.

377 † Victoria (1837-1901), Copper ¼-Cent, 1872H (KM 7; Pr 211). About uncirculated but with numerous light marks in the semi-prooflike fields. £100-150 from the Heaton Mint Archive but an earlier strike than the coin in the previous lot

378 † Victoria (1837-1901), Bronze ¼-Cent, 1884 (KM 7a; Pr 216). About uncirculated with 20% mint red and a few light spots. £200-250

379 † Victoria (1837-1901), Bronze ¼-Cent, 1889 (KM 14; Pr 217). Brilliant uncirculated. £150-200

380 † Victoria (1837-1901), Bronze Proof ¼-Cent, 1898 (KM 14; Pr 220A). Brilliant uncirculated, a few very small spots on the reverse, the result of a fingerprint. £1000-1500 Occasionally we see the proof only dates of the early 1890s, and as they were struck per collectors’ orders, they are usually minimally impaired. Other dates that appear as proofs result from the need to add a proof to the British Museum and Royal Mint collections.

Luckily a few extra pieces of these dates, struck as proofs made it into the public domain so we have them to enjoy today.

381 † Victoria (1837-1901), Bronze ¼-Cent, 1901 (KM 14; Pr 222). Extremely fine with some mint red. £80-100 382 † Edward VII, Bronze ¼-Cent, 1905 (KM 17; Pr 224). Good extremely fine. £50-80 383 † Edward VII, Bronze ¼-Cent, 1908 (KM 17; Pr 225). Uncirculated with some mint red. £100-150 384 † George V, Bronze ¼-Cent, 1916 (KM 27; Pr 226). Brilliant uncirculated. £50-80

385 † East India Company, Victoria, Copper ½-Cent, 1845, WW on truncation (KM 2; Pr 4). Choice uncirculated with some mint red. £150-200

386 † Victoria (1837-1901), Copper ½-Cent, 1872H, die axis ↑↓ (KM 8; Pr 196). About uncirculated with a mostly red reverse and a toned obverse. £150-200 ex Spink auction 160, 9 October 2002 , lot 207, part One of the 30 or so pieces from the Heaton Archives, but as with the 1872H ¼-Cent, very few of the pieces would be considered very choice.

387 † Victoria (1837-1901), Bronzed-copper Proof ½-Cent, 1875, proof only date, die axis ↑↑ (KM 8; Pr 199).

Choice uncirculated Proof. £1000-1500 This is a proof only date and comes brilliant as the Remick piece and bronzed as this piece. My notes for the Remick piece indicate it was more a specimen than a proof, and my guess was his piece was struck at the turn of the 20th century, as it had die rust, which this piece lacks, indicating an earlier strike.

388

389

388 † Victoria (1837-1901), Copper ½-Cent, 1883 (KM 8; Pr 201). Good very fine. £100-150 Always considered to be a rare date but there does not seem to be a lack of this date in lower grades. The AU in the Diana sale is still by far the finest I have seen.

389 † Victoria (1837-1901), Bronze ½-Cent, 1884, one year type (KM 8a; Pr 202). Glossy good extremely fine. £100-150

399 †Victoria (1837-1901), Bronze Cent, 1890 (KM 16; Pr 179A). Semi-prooflike uncirculated, mostly toned with a touch of mint red. £250-350 Unusual look for this series as the proofs tend to be quite obvious, but this just seems to be an early strike off fresh dies.

£700-900

ex Spink auction 160, 9 October 2002, lot 205, part There were six pieces of this date in the Heaton Archives, all gem uncirculated, as this piece. Surprisingly though, they haven’t shown up in more collections. Remick’s was a “62” and Diana didn’t have one. Ford probably had one due to his relationship with Spink, but the rest? We do have a record of a piece, ex Heaton Archive, sold for $700 in Singapore Coin Auction 30, 23 June 2000, lot 365.

Superb choice uncirculated. £1000-1500 ex Heaton Mint Archives One of six pieces from the Heaton Archives where they had both specimen strikes and coins as this piece. Diana’s example of the specimen sold for £3,200, Baldwin’s Auction 59, 5 May 2009, lot 357, and Remick’s specimen sold for £1,700, Spink auction 6009, 18 October 2006, lot 461.

418 † Victoria (1837-1901), Silver Proof 5-Cents, 1891 (KM 10; Pr 140). A few light handling marks, otherwise uncirculated Proof with moderate tone. £400-600 This is the typical late 19th century proof where not as much care was taken in the striking of this coin but as a proof was struck every year for the British Mint, a few were called for outside of the mint and these pieces made it to collectors today.

Uncirculated Proof, light grey colour typical of the matte finish and the strike is superb. £500-800 The Royal Mint is known to have struck matte specimens for Straits Settlements and Ceylon in 1903, while the pieces that came from the Bombay Mint are brilliant proofs.

Very fine, light handling marks on the obverse. £200-300 Neither Remick nor Diana had examples of this date, and Pridmore’s was a nice VF, strongly implying that the catalogue valuation leaves a little to be desired.

Brilliant uncirculated proof, a little cloudy and this is magnified by the mirror surfaces. £1000-1500 ex Palmer collection, Heritage 2004 Auction 357, lot 14501 For some reason a number of 1905B Proof 50-Cent coins were struck but this is only the second example that we are aware of.

Uncirculated, toned. £400-600 My notes on the various high profile British Colonial collections do not show any of these coming up in uncirculated, close, but not UNC. I have seen one or two others of the large size Edward 50-Cents in Unc besides these two examples but they were sold in Singapore in the early 1980s That is all, making them virtually as rare in UNC as the Victoria pieces, for far less money.

487 † Edward VII (1901-1910), Silver Proof 50-Cents, 1905B incuse (KM 23; Pr unlisted). Uncirculated proof, cloudy with numerous light hairlines but a perfect companion to the 1910 20-Cents in lot 477. £5000-8000 The Diana example sold for £5600, while the Remick’s sold for £8000

488

492 † George V (1910-1936), Silver 50-Cents (2), 1920, 1921, quatrefoil below bust (KM 35.1; Pr 36, 38). Both uncirculated. (2) £30-50

494

495

495 † Edward VII (1901-1910), Silver Dollar, 1903B, incuse (KM 25; Pr 1). Good extremely fine. £150-200 ex F Pridmore Collection, with ticket

496

497

496 † Edward VII (1901-1910), Silver Dollar, 1904B (KM 25; Pr 4). Good extremely fine. £100-150 497 † Edward VII (1901-1910), Uniface Silver Pattern or Die Trial for the Obverse of the Dollar, undated (19071909), 34mm, 22.27g (KM -; Pr -). Good extremely fine, toned, lacquered, probably unique. £1500-2000 probably ex King Farouk Collection

498

499

498 † Edward VII (1901-1910), Silver Dollar, 1907 (KM 26; Pr 5). Uncirculated, lightly toned. £150-200 499 † Edward VII (1901-1910), Silver Dollar, 1907H (KM 26; Pr 6). Uncirculated. £150-200

500

501

500 † Edward VII (1901-1910), Silver Dollar, 1908 (KM 26; Pr 7). Mint state, lightly toned. £200-300 501 † Edward VII (1901-1910), Silver Dollar, 1909 (KM 26; Pr 8). Extremely fine. £50-80

502

503

502 † George V (1910-1936), Silver Dollar, 1919 (KM 33; Pr 9). Good extremely fine. £50-80 503 † George V (1910-1936), Silver Proof Restrike Dollar, 1919 (KM 33; Pr 9). Uncirculated Proof, lacquered and pleasant. £120-180

504

505

504 † George V (1910-1936), Silver Dollar, 1920 (KM 33; Pr 10). Mint state. £100-150 505 † George V (1910-1936), Silver Proof Restrike Dollar, 1920 (KM 33; Pr 10). Uncirculated proof, lacquered and pleasant. £120-180

Malaya

506 † George VI (1936-1952), Copper Proof ½-Cent, 1940 (KM 1). Choice uncirculated Proof, toned. £400-600 The rarity of the proofs of this series in North America or England is because the few of these that were produced quickly made their way to Singapore. These proofs, back in the 1970s and 80s catalogued for very little, but that didn’t stop the Far East collectors from paying $400 and more for these proofs, so those of us travelling to this part of the world were sure to keep these to sell there. Even back then the copper pieces were mostly toned. Nowadays we have to live with this tone and appreciate the coins for their rarity.

507 † George VI (1936-1952), Copper Proof Cent, 1939 (KM 2). Choice uncirculated Proof, toned with about 20% mint red. £400-600

508

509

510

508 † Malaya and British Borneo, Elizabeth II (1952- ), Copper Proof Cent, 1956 (KM 5). Choice uncirculated Proof, toned with about 20% mint red. £400-600 509 † Malaya and British Borneo, Elizabeth II (1952- ), Copper Proof Cent, 1958 (KM 5). Choice uncirculated Proof, toned. £400-600 510 † Malaya and British Borneo, Elizabeth II (1952- ), Copper Proof Cent, 1961 (KM 5). Choice uncirculated Proof, toned with 40% mint red. £350-550

511 † George VI (1936-1952), Three Piece Silver Proof Set, 5-Cents, 10-Cents and 20-Cents, 1939 (KM 3, 4, 5).

Uncirculated Proofs, the 5-Cents lightly toned but not struck with the same respect given to the 10-Cents and 20-Cents, these are both superb and beautifully toned. (3) £1500-2000 I am not sure if the 5 cent will ever be upgradeable due to the rarity of these coins and the lack of care found in the production of the 5-Cent pieces. A worthy task though!

512 † George VI (1936-1952), Silver Proof 5-Cents, 1941 (KM 3). Uncirculated Proofs, lightly toned and some light hairlines, but as with the 1939 5-Cents in the previous lot, not struck with the greatest care. £400-600

513 † George VI (1936-1952), Three Piece Silver Proof Set, 5-Cents, 10-Cents and 20-Cents, 1943 (KM 3a, 4a, 5a). Choice uncirculated Proofs, as with the 1939 Proof Set in lot 511, the 5-Cents is not up to the quality of the two other coins which are attractively toned but not quite as attractive as the 1939 coins due to the change in the silver content. (3) £1500-2000 For what it is worth, I do not believe there is much difference in the rarity of any of these dates.

514 † George VI (1936-1952), Cupro-nickel Proof 5-Cents, 1948 (KM 7). Choice uncirculated Proof, toned. £400-600

515 † George VI (1936-1952), Cupro-nickel Proof 10-Cents, 1950 (KM 8). Choice brilliant uncirculated Proof, a little tone on the obverse. £400-600

516 † George VI (1936-1952), Cupro-nickel Proof 20-Cents, 1950 (KM 9). Choice brilliant uncirculated Proof, a little tone on the obverse. £400-600

517 † Malaya and British Borneo, Elizabeth II (1952- ), Three Piece Cupro-nickel Proof Set, 10-Cents, 1953, 20-Cents and 50-Cents, 1954 (KM 2, 3, 4.1). Uncirculated Proofs, the 10-Cents is choice with one small spot on the obverse, the others are superb. (3) £1200-1500

Sumatra

518 † East India Company, Fort Marlborough, Silver 2-Sukus (½-Dollar), 1783, AH1197, struck at the Calcutta mint but with the legend shortened to FORT MARLBRO (Pr 1; KM 271). Good very fine. £500-800 This Fort was the chief settlement of the EIC in Sumatra and these ½-Dollars were struck for two years. They were the last silver coins struck for this area. From then on they would rely on Spanish silver and the copper coins struck locally and at the Soho Mint in England.

519 † East India Company, Copper Kepings (2), AH1200 / 1786, obv the balemark of the EIC and date, rev date and denomination in Malay (Pr 17; KM 257.1). Both uncirculated, one toned with some mint red in the lettering, the other with much more mint red. (2) £100-150 These coins, while not rare in proof, are often hard to distinguish between a nice mint state example and a proof. Two characteristics to look at are the squaring of the letters to signify a strong strike, and an evenness to the edge milling. On the toned piece there is some repunching of the design. Besides, there really isn’t much difference in value of the two strikes unless very choice and we expect better than this from the Soho mint.

520

521

520 † East India Company, Copper Proof Keping, AH1200 / 1786, obv the balemark of the EIC and date, rev date and denomination in Malay (Pr 17A; KM 257.1). Uncirculated Proof, toned but with deep mirror fields and a fair amount of die rust. £80-120 521 † East India Company, Gilt-copper Proof Keping, AH1200 / 1786, struck at the Soho mint, obv the balemark of the EIC and date, rev date and denomination in Malay (Pr 17B; KM 257.1). Mint state, a little die rust. £150-200

522

523

524

522 † East India Company, Copper Keping, AH1202 / 1787, obv the balemark of the EIC and date, rev date and denomination in Malay (Pr 19; KM 257.1). Extremely fine. £40-60 Not a proof but virtually all of the design and letters have been obviously repunched, with an obverse die crack across the top, most unusual.

523 † East India Company, Copper Keping, AH1202 / 1787, obv the balemark of the EIC and date, rev date and denomination in Malay (Pr 19; KM 257.1). Numerous rust marks with a touch of porosity in the balemark, die break on the reverse from 1 o’clock to 3 o’clock, otherwise semi-prooflike, about mint state. £50-80 Here the reverse inscription “Sakeping”, is broken up in the centre, so that the writing doesn’t flow without a break. This is the only one of these four 1787 pieces that show this.

524 † East India Company, Copper Proof Keping, AH1202 / 1787, obv the balemark of the EIC and date, rev date and denomination in Malay (Pr 19A; KM 257.1). Uncirculated Proof, toned, die break evident on both sides. £80-100

525

526

525 † East India Company, Copper Proof Keping, AH1202 / 1787, obv the balemark of the EIC and date, rev date and denomination in Malay (Pr 19A; KM 257.1). Uncirculated Proof, toned, die break evident on both sides, deeper mirror surfaces than the Keping in the previous lot. £80-100 With the differences in quality of the proofs, with the depth of the mirror fields and the lack of or die rust appearing in several degrees, it is obvious that the Soho mint didn’t always take a great deal of care in the striking of these proofs and that they were struck over some period.

526 † East India Company, Error Copper Proof Keping, AH1213 / 1798, the denomination is written as a “3” (۳), rather than the correct “1”, obv the balemark of the EIC and date, rev date and denomination in Malay (Pr 20A; KM 260). About uncirculated, a few marks but a pleasant colour. £80-100

527 † East India Company, Bronzed Copper Proof Keping, AH1219 / 1804, obv arms of the EIC and date, rev date and denomination in Malay (Pr 21A; KM 262). Mint state Proof with copper shells. £100-150 The Soho mint often sent out the proofs to their clients in metal shells. Most of these have been lost to time now, so it is special to have this offered.

528 † East India Company, Gilt-copper Proof Keping, AH1219 / 1804, obv arms of the EIC and date, rev date and denomination in Malay (Pr 21B; KM 262). Good extremely fine, somewhat dull. £80-120

529 † East India Company, Copper 2-Kepings, AH1200 / 1786, obv the balemark of the EIC and date, rev date and denomination in Malay, oblique milling to edge (Pr 11; KM 258). Extremely fine. £40-60

530 † East India Company, Copper 2-Kepings, AH1200 / 1786, oval links on edge (Pr 11, but variety noted only for PR 10; KM -). Good extremely fine/very fine, semi-prooflike obverse, the reverse is weak and has probably been cleaned at one time, an unusual edge. £150-200 A most unusual edge, not noted on any other coins. Pridmore didn’t give it a number, just made a note of its existence on Pr-10 (may have been in error and should have been noted for Pr 11).

531

532

533

531 † East India Company, Bronzed-copper Proof 2-Kepings, AH1200 / 1786, edge fine oblique milling (Pr 11A; KM 258). Small patches of die rust on both sides, otherwise uncirculated. £120-180 532 † East India Company, Copper 2-Kepings, AH1202 / 1787, edge right oblique milling (Pr 13; KM 258).

Good extremely fine, pleasing light brown colour. £40-60 533 † East India Company, Copper 2-Kepings, AH1202 / 1787, edge straight milling (Pr 13). Good extremely fine, pleasing light brown colour. £150-200 Pridmore mentions “a variety occurs with E: G.” He doesn’t mention the direction of the graining but it makes sense that this straight graining is what he meant.

534

535

534 † East India Company, Bronzed-copper Proof 2-Kepings, AH1202 / 1787, edge right oblique milling (Pr 13A).

Uncirculated Proof, die cracks and rust, lacquered on the obverse, but the reverse is quite clean. £80-100 535 † East India Company, Gilt-copper Proof 2-Kepings, AH1200 / 1786, edge grained right (Pr 11B, KM 258).

In PCGS holder graded PR65, a most pleasant example but with several rust spots. £200-300

536

537

538

536 † East India Company, Error Copper “2”-Kepings, AH1213 / 1798, value engraved as an Arabic denomination ۳ (3), but coin is the size and weight of a “2”-Keping, 25.5mm, 6.77g (Pr 14; KM 261). Good extremely fine, some mint red. £80-100 537 † East India Company, Error Bronzed-copper Proof “2”-Kepings, AH1213 / 1798, value engraved as an Arabic denomination ۳ (3), but coin is the size and weight of a “2”-Keping, 25mm, 6.38g (Pr 14A; KM 261). Glossy mint state Proof, no die rust. £100-150 538 † East India Company, Gilt-copper Proof “2”-Kepings, AH1202 / 1787, value engraved as an Arabic denomination ۳ (3), but coin is the size and weight of a “2”-Keping, edge right oblique milling, 25.5mm, 6.68g (Pr 13B; KM 261). Mint state proof, a few hairline but bright and attractive, struck with the same dies as the Proof in the previous lot. £250-350

539

540

539 † East India Company, Bronzed Copper Proof 3 Kepings, AH1200 / 1786, edge grained (Pr 6A; KM 259.1).

Mint state. £150-200 540 † East India Company, Copper 3-Kepings, AH1202 / 1787, edge coarsely grained (Pr 7). Uncirculated with some mint red on the obverse. £80-120

541 † East India Company, Gilt Copper Proof 3-Kepings, AH1202 / 1787, edge finely grained (Pr 7B).

Good extremely fine, some light handling marks and areas of die rust. £250-350

542 † East India Company, Bronzed Copper Proof 3-Kepings, AH1213 / 1798 (Pr 8A; KM 259.2). Glossy mint state. £150-200

543

544

543 † East India Company, Copper 4-Kepings, AH1219 / 1804, reduced weight issue, 8.96g (Pr 5; KM 267).

Uncirculated with some mint red. £80-100 544 † East India Company, Bronzed Copper Proof 4-Kepings, AH1219 / 1804, 12.98g (Pr 4A; KM 266). Mint state. £250-350

Patterns and Boulton Samples

545 † East India Company, Copper Pattern 2-Kepings, Error AH date, AH1200 / 1787, obv shield of arms of the EIC over sixteen projecting rays, rev inscription and date within a border of sixteen projecting rays, chevron edge (Pr 29; KM Pn9; Scho 959e). Choice about uncirculated, struck to proof quality but with a little verdigris on the obverse. £1000-1500 ex T Eijkelenkamp collection, Baldwin’s Auction 27, 8 October 2001, lot 815, with ticket

546 † East India Company, Copper Pattern 2-Kepings, Error AH date, AH1200 / 1787, edge crudely grained (Pr 28; KM Pn4; Scho 959 var). Extremely fine but not struck to proof quality, numerous light verdigris spots, especially on the obverse, and a few handling marks over all, a fascinating piece of EIC and Boulton mint history. £1000-1500 It is difficult to tell the size of the date from the photo in the Pridmore catalogue, but this piece appears to have a larger 8 and 7.

Also, on the reverse, the Arabic 0s of the date AH1200 are larger, so we will go with this being Pr 28, not that it matters for value.

547

548

547 † East India Company, Copper Pattern 3-Kepings, AH1202 / 1787, very similar to the currency coins but with the addition of beading inset around the edge and a raised rim, edge plain, 8.98g (Pr 23a; KM Pn10). Good extremely fine, struck as a Proof but with some handling marks. £500-800 548 † East India Company, Copper Pattern 3-Kepings, AH1202 / 1787, very similar to the currency coins but with the addition of beading inset around the edge and a raised rim, edge milled, 9.77g (Pr 23b; KM Pn11). Extremely fine, numerous light nicks to the obverse but the reverse is free of marks and shows off the proof characteristics of this coin. £500-800

549 † East India Company, Copper Pattern 3-Kepings, AH1202 / 1787, very similar to the currency coins but with the addition of beading inset around the edge and a raised rim, edge coarsely reeded right, 10.14g (Pr 23c; KM Pn12). Mint state with some mint red. £1000-1500 From a spot of die rust beside the first 7 of the date, it would appear this coin was struck first as it has the smallest spot of die rust compared with the Pr 23b, and 23a has the largest spot of die rust there. This should indicate some time between the strikings. The reverses of these three coins have some minor differences that should be mentioned. It appears that 23a has 17 beads in the wreath while 23b has 16, and these are sunk with more care than the 23a. 23c has been heavily double punched on the reverse resulting in what appears to be 14 beads, but that has been lost in the double striking. Also there are four different kinds of beading used on the reverse. At 12 o’clock there are dots making their way into a broad wavy line which changes to a tight wavy line and then to straight denticles. You can see were the double strike has impacted some of these, but there is no doubt that the four edges were made on purpose. Perhaps to show edge options to possible clients.

Sarawak

550

551

550 † C Brooke (1868-1917), Copper Specimen ¼-Cent, 1870 (Pr 63; KM 4). Glossy brown uncirculated. £250-350 The Diana example brought £1,350, and I have a record four of these that came from the Heaton Archives.

551 † C Brooke (1868-1917), Copper ¼-Cent, 1896H (Pr 64; KM 4). About uncirculated and mostly red, some of the typical dark spotting. £50-80

552

553

552 † J Brooke (1842-1868), Bronzed Copper Specimen ½-Cent, 1863 (Pr 57; KM 2a). Good extremely fine. £350-450 ex Spink auction 160, 9 October 2002 , lot 1486, part Diana’s example brought £1,600. This is an interesting date in that the Cent in nice grade shows up while the ¼-Cent and ½-Cent are very rare above well worn.

553 † C Brooke (1868-1917), Copper ½-Cent, 1870 (Pr 58; KM 5). In NGC holder graded MS63BN. £80-120 Serious collectors of the coins of Sarawak do not need to be told how much rarer the ½-Cents are than the Cent.

554 † C Brooke (1868-1917), Brass OMS ½-Cent, 1870, off metal strike in brass (Pr 58 var; KM 5 var).

Uncirculated. £500-800 The 1-Cent is also known in brass, but why these few pieces were struck is not easily explained. The heat and humidity of Sarawak would be more corrosive on the brass coins than the copper pieces.

555

556

555 † C Brooke (1868-1917), Copper ½-Cent, 1879 (Pr 59; KM 5). Glossy uncirculated

£100-150

556 † C V Brooke (1917-1946), Copper ½-Cent, 1933H (Pr 61; KM 20). Brilliant uncirculated. £20-30

557 † J Brooke (1842-1868), Bronzed Copper Specimen Cent, 1863 (Pr 31A; KM 3). About uncirculated with a few very light handling marks. £300-500 There were 16 of these in the Heaton Archives and it seems a few other’ made their way out of the mint over the years. It is known as both a bronzed and brilliant specimen strike, although the rarity of each is not certain. I am leaning towards the bronzed piece being the more common.

558

559

558 † J Brooke (1842-1868), Copper Cent, 1863 (Pr 31; KM 3). Brown uncirculated. £200-300 please note the comment on the 1863 Specimen ½-Cent (lot 552)

559 † J Brooke (1842-1868), Silver Cent, 1863, overstruck on a Straits Settlements 50-Cents, 1921 (cf Pr 31; cf KM 3). Fine and unusual. £100-150 Obviously something considered as a ‘bit of fun’, but some effort must have gone into setting a 1863 die on the press, 58 years after the fact.

560

561

560 † C Brooke (1868-1917), Copper Cent, 1870 (Pr 32; KM 6). Brown uncirculated with a little mint red. £80-100 561 † C Brooke (1868-1917), Copper Specimen Cent, 1870 (Pr 32; KM 6). Choice uncirculated with subdued mint red. £400-600 ex Spink auction 160, 9 October 2002 , lot 1486, part My notes show two of these in the archives and then two more from this Spink sale. The Diana example brought £600.

562

562 † C Brooke (1868-1917), Copper Cent, 1885 (Pr 37; KM 6). Glossy uncirculated. £100-150 563 † C Brooke (1868-1917), Copper Cent, 1887 (Pr 39; KM 6). Good extremely fine. £40-60

564 † C Brooke (1868-1917), Copper Specimen Cent, 1888, struck at the Heaton mint without a mintmark (Pr 40, “proof” not listed; KM 6). Choice uncirculated, mostly brilliant with only a few very small marks. £250-350 Only one piece is listed as coming from the Heaton Archives and no record of where it sold. The 1882 however, where there was also only one listed, sold for £1100 at the Diana sale. The only place we can find a record of that date selling as well.

565 † C Brooke (1868-1917), Copper Cents (3), 1888, 1891H, 1892H (Pr 40, 46, 47; KM 6, 7). About extremely fine to extremely fine. (3) £100-150

571 † C V Brooke (1917-1946), Bronze Specimen Cent, 1927H, struck at the King’s Norton mint (Pr -; KM 18).

Choice uncirculated with full mint red. £1000-1500 Struck at the King’s Norton Mint as were half of the all the KM 18s 1927-1941, with the H mintmark, according to James Sweeney in A Numismatic History of the Birmingham Mint.

The King’s Norton mint took great care to strike and store these coins.

572 † C V Brooke (1917-1946), Bronze Blank for a Cent, 1927-1941 (cf KM 18). As made. £50-80 ex Kings Norton Mint holdings

573 † C V Brooke (1917-1946), Bronze Cents (2), 1930H, 1937H (Pr 55, 56; KM 18). Brilliant uncirculated with almost full mint red. (2) £50-80

574 † C V Brooke (1917-1946), Bronze Specimen Cent, 1937H (Pr -; KM 18). Choice uncirculated with full mint red. £1000-1500 The Diana sale had an example of this and it sold for £580. The Diana sale had one of the most impressive runs of Sarawak specimen coins ever put together and is an important reference catalogue for what is known about these special coins.

575 † C V Brooke (1917-1946), Bronze Cent, 1941H (Pr -; KM 18). Uncirculated, lightly subdued mint red.

£500-800

576 † C V Brooke (1917-1946), Bronze Specimen Cent, 1941H (Pr -; KM 18). Choice uncirculated with full mint red and a deep mirror finish, rare date. £2000-2500 The Specimen in the Diana collection, Baldwin’s Auction 59, 5 May 2009, lot 308, sold for £2400

577 † C Brooke (1868-1917), Silver 5-Cents (3), 1900H, 1911H, 1913H (Pr 22, 24, 25; KM 8). First extremely fine, toned, the second very fine, cleaned, the last about extremely fine, all with slight evidence of mounting.

580 † C Brooke (1868-1917), Silver Specimen 10-Cents, 1900H (Pr 12; KM 9). Gem uncirculated and attractively toned. £2000-3000 Seven pieces in the Heaton Archives but this is the first time we can find a record of one selling since the two sold in the 1975 Long Beach sale of Heaton’s archival material.

581

582

583

584

581 † C Brooke (1868-1917), Silver 10-Cents, 1906H (Pr 13; KM 9). Extremely fine, lightly cleaned. £100-150 582 † C Brooke (1868-1917), Silver 10-Cents, 1910H (Pr 14; KM 9). Extremely fine, lightly toned. £100-150 583 † C Brooke (1868-1917), Silver 10-Cents, 1911H (Pr 15; KM 9). Gem mint state.

£500-800

There were none of this date in the Heaton Archives, quite unusual. This does not have the look of an Archive piece, so it is pure luck that we have this at all.

584 † C Brooke (1868-1917), Silver 10-Cents, 1913H (Pr 16; KM 9). Uncirculated. £300-500

585 † C V Brooke (1917-1946), Cupro-nickel 10-Cents (2), 1920H, 1927H (Pr 19, 20; KM 16). Both uncirculated.

(2) £80-120

586 † C V Brooke (1917-1946), Cupro-nickel Specimen 10-Cents, 1934H (Pr 21; KM 16). Choice uncirculated, a few light marks but a frosted bust with nice prooflike fields. £200-300 These came from the King’s Norton Mint under the same circumstances as the H mint copper specimen coins in this collection.

587 † C Brooke (1868-1917), Silver Specimen 20-Cents, 1900H (Pr 4; KM 10). In NGC holder graded SP66. £3000-4000 ex Heaton Mint Archives Again, as with the 1900H 10-Cents, the only two we can find of this date selling were in the Long Beach sale, where they brought $275 and $295. Eight pieces were in the Archives.

588

589

588 † C V Brooke (1917-1946), Silver 20-Cents, 1920H (Pr 10; KM 17). Mint state. £400-600 589 † C V Brooke (1917-1946), Silver 20-Cents, 1927H (Pr 11; KM 17a). Uncirculated. £150-200

Red and brown uncirculated. £50-80 594 † British Protectorate, Bronze ½-Cent, 1907H (KM 1). Good extremely fine with a touch of mint red. £100-150

595 † Sulu, Bronze Pattern Cent, AH1295 (1878), struck at the Heaton mint, obv four quarters, Arabic legend for the Sultan Muhammad … yr 2, AH1295, with central hole, rev four quarters, Arabic legend “petty money current at 100 to the silver dollar” (Pr -; KM -). Gem uncirculated proof, very rare. £2000-3000 Pridmore had a cleaned and lacquered ½-Cent that was said to be ex Farouk. Sweeny has photos for the ¼-and ½-Cents in his book on the Heaton mint, but these have yet to make it to the auction room. Pridmore’s 1-Cent brought £1,100 in 1982!

596

597

596 † British Protectorate, Copper Specimen Cent, 1882H (KM 2). Uncirculated specimen, toned. £100-150 For some reason the Heaton Mint found this design worthy of special care and striking, so they were struck in some numbers.

Most of the dates of this series exist as specimens.

597 † British Protectorate, Copper Cent, 1884H (KM 2). Uncirculated with 50% mint red. £80-100

598 † British Protectorate, Copper Cents (2), 1885H, 1887H (KM 2). About extremely fine and extremely fine.

(2) £50-80

599

599 † British Protectorate, Copper Specimen Cent, 1886H (KM 2). Extremely fine with full mint red. £100-150 600 † British Protectorate, Copper Specimen Cent, 1888H (KM 2). Uncirculated, toned.

601

£80-120

602

601 † British Protectorate, Copper Specimen Cent, 1890H (KM 2). Brilliant uncirculated. £100-150 602 † British Protectorate, Copper Cent, 1891H (KM 2). Brilliant uncirculated. £80-100

603

604

603 † British Protectorate, Copper Pattern Cent, 1896H, struck on a thin planchet (KM KM 2 for type).

Gem uncirculated with 40% mint red. £400-600 Four of these came out of the Heaton Mint Archives. I don’t believe a regular weight of this date is known as a specimen strike.

604 † British Protectorate, Copper Cent ,1907H (KM 2). Good extremely fine. £120-180

605 † British Protectorate, Cupro-nickel Cents (2), 1904H, 1941H (KM 3). Good extremely fine and extremely fine.

(2) £50-80

606 † British Protectorate, Cupro-nickel Cents (2), 1935H, 1938H (KM 3). Both mint state. (2)

608 † British Protectorate, Cupro-nickel 2½ Cents, 1920H (KM 4). In PCGS holder graded MS66. £150-200 ex Remick collection

609

610

609 † British Protectorate, Cupro-nickel Specimen 5-Cents, 1903H (KM 5). A choice uncirculated Specimen. £150-200 Our records show that only two came out in 1975 but we are aware of a few others that were available before 1975.

610 † British Protectorate, Cupro-nickel 5-Cents, 1920H (KM 5). Uncirculated. £80-100

611 † British Protectorate, Cupro-nickel 5-Cents, 1921H (KM 5). Mint state. £40-60

612 † British Protectorate, Cupro-nickel 5-Cents, 1927H (KM 5). In PCGS holder graded MS65. £40-60 ex Remick collection

617

616 † Victoria (1837-1901), Bronze Mil, 1863 (Pr 193; KM 1). Uncirculated with subdued mint red. £50-80 617 † Victoria (1837-1901), Bronze Mil, 1866 (Pr 197; KM 3). Uncirculated with a touch of mint red. £40-60

618 † Victoria (1837-1901), Bronze Pattern Cent, 1863, 32mm (Pr 287). Uncirculated Pattern, toned with a little mint red. £1500-2000 The British Museum has over 150 different examples of these 32 mm patterns, most have minor differences. Pridmore has written up about 50 of them, but there are more mulings and slight modifications that I imagine he deemed weren’t important enough to put in his catalogue. I suggest if anyone has a chance to see these, they should make an appointment and view them as they have been so poorly stored and fingerprinted, I don’t give them much of a future.

619 † Victoria (1837-1901), Bronze Pattern/Proof Cent, 1863, 28mm, rev central dot (Pr 165B; KM 4.1). Mint state, patchy tone. £500-800 Only difference between this and the circulation strike is the central dot. That is probably why Pridmore put them under patterns and proofs.

620

621

620 † Victoria (1837-1901), Bronze Cent, 1866 (Pr 167; KM 4.1). Good extremely fine, a touch of mint red. £50-80 621 † Victoria (1837-1901), Bronze Cent, 1875 (Pr 168; KM 4.1). Glossy about uncirculated. £50-80

622 † Victoria (1837-1901), Bronze Proof Cent, 1876, die axis ↑↑ (Pr 169A; KM 4.1). Uncirculated Proof, brilliant reverse, toned obverse due to the method of storage. £1000-1500 ex Spink auction 160, 9 October 2002 , lot 1158, part

623

624

623 † Victoria (1837-1901), Bronze Cent, 1876 (Pr 169; KM 4.1). Glossy about uncirculated. £50-80 624 † Victoria (1837-1901), Bronze Cent, 1879 (Pr 172; KM 4.2). Extremely fine with a little mint red.

£50-80

625 † Victoria (1837-1901), Bronze Cent, 1901H (Pr 178; KM 4.3). Brilliant uncirculated. £80-100 We are grateful to a well known London numismatic firm that was able to save some of these for future collectors to enjoy.

626

627

626 † Edward VII (1901-1910), Bronze Cent, 1904H (Pr 181; KM 11). Choice brilliant uncirculated. £50-80 The same source as the previous coin.

627 † Edward VII (1901-1910), Bronze Cent, 1905H (Pr 183; KM 11). Brilliant uncirculated. £50-80

628 † George V (1910-1936), Bronze Cents (4), 1924, 1931, 1933, 1934 (Pr 186, 189, 190, 191; KM 16, 17). Generally good extremely fine or better. (4) £40-60

629 † Victoria (1837-1901), Silver 5-Cents, 1875H (Pr 120; KM 5). Mint state. £500-800 ex Heaton Mint Archives, 14 pieces in the Archive, most, if not all were Gem and very well cared for.

630 † Victoria (1837-1901), Silver 5-Cents, 1883 (Pr 127; KM 5). Mint state. £100-150

631 † Victoria (1837-1901), Silver Specimen 5-Cents, 1883H (Pr 128; KM 5). Uncirculated. £1000-1500 ex Heaton Mint Archives, 27 pieces in the Archive, but a range of quality, as if the coins were taken off the dies at various times to check out die wear etc. Most of these 27 pieces are Gem Uncs but a few had the special care taken to have them designated as specimen strikes.

632 † Victoria (1837-1901), Silver 5-Cents, 1886 (Pr 131; KM 5). Uncirculated, some light marks. £40-60

633 † Victoria (1837-1901), Silver 5-Cents (4), 1888, 1890H, 1892, 1893 (Pr 133, 137, 140, 142; KM 5). The 1890H brilliant uncirculated, the others good extremely fine. (4) £40-60

634

635

636

634 † Victoria (1837-1901), Silver 5-Cents, 1895 (Pr 144; KM 5). Mint state, nicely toned. £40-60 635 † Victoria (1837-1901), Silver 5-Cents, 1898 (Pr 146; KM 5). Mint state. £30-50 636 † Victoria (1837-1901), Silver 5-Cents, 1899 (Pr 147; KM 5). Good extremely fine. £30-50

637

638

637 † Victoria (1837-1901), Silver 5-Cents, 1900H (Pr 149; KM 5). Mint state. £30-50 638 † Victoria (1837-1901), Silver 5-Cents, 1900H (Pr 149; KM 5). Mint state, nicely toned. £40-60

639 † Edward VII (1901-1910), Silver 5-Cents (3), 1903, 1904, 1905 (Pr 151, 152, 153; KM 12). First uncirculated, the others good extremely fine. (3) £30-50

640 † George V (1910-1936), Silver 5-Cents (2), 1932, 1933, Cupro-nickel 5-Cents, 1935 (Pr 157; KM 18, 18a).

All uncirculated. (3) £30-50

641 † George VI (1936-1952), Cupro-nickel 5-Cents, 1941H (Pr 162A; KM 22 Extremely fine, light handling marks. £800-1000 The coins of 1941 probably never made it to Hong Kong as the Japanese had taken over the colony by then. We know of a shipwreck where a number of 1941 Cents have come from but no mention of the 5-Cents.

642 † George VI (1936-1952), Nickel-Brass Proof 5-Cents, 1949 (Pr 163; KM 26). Uncirculated Proof, toned. £150-200

643

644

645

646

643 † Victoria (1837-1901), Silver 10-Cents, 1863, 6 struck over a 3 (Pr 54; KM 6.1). Extremely fine. £50-80 The overstrike was a die-cutter error where he stamped in a 3 where the 6 was supposed to be but then corrected it and this variety was struck in some number. The portions of the 3 wore quickly so that the 3 disappeared or was replaced by a new die. These early coins can come from very worn dies. Neither the Hong Kong mint or Royal Mint cared too much about how these coins looked.

644 † Victoria (1837-1901), Silver 10-Cents, 1866 (Pr 57; KM 6.2). Mint state. £100-150 645 † Victoria (1837-1901), Silver 10-Cents, 1868, first 8 entered too high and a second 8 punched to fix the error (Pr 60; KM 6.3). Good extremely fine. £50-80 646 † Victoria (1837-1901), Silver 10-Cents, 1874H (Pr 65; KM 6.3). Frosty, good extremely fine. £80-100 It was about this time that the two mints started to take care in the state of the dies used to strike their coins.

647

648

647 † Victoria (1837-1901), Silver 10-Cents, 1888 (Pr 79; KM 6.3). Uncirculated, lightly toned. £70-90 648 † Victoria (1837-1901), Silver 10-Cents, 1889H (Pr 81; KM 6.3). Mint state. £80-100

649 † Victoria (1837-1901), Silver 10-Cents, 1890H (Pr 83; KM 6.3). Generally good extremely fine. £50-80

650 † Edward VII (1901-1910), Silver 10-Cents, 1905 (Pr 102; KM 13). Superb choice uncirculated. £1000-1500 One of the Rarest coins of the Hong Kong series as most never made it into circulation. Thankfully a few survived but rarely this nice.

651 † Victoria (1837-1901), Silver 20-Cents, 1873 (Pr 21; KM 7). Frosty good extremely fine, weakly struck. £80-100

652 † Victoria (1837-1901), Silver Specimen 20-Cents, 1875H (Pr 24; KM 7). In NGC holder graded SP65, a few light marks. £1500-2000 Nine pieces were in the Heaton Archives in various states of striking quality. The finest pieces of this date are the only 19th century Heaton coins that could be considered a proof as they were of the same quality as any proof from the Royal Mint.

653 † Victoria (1837-1901), Silver 20-Cents, 1893 (Pr 46; KM 7). Good extremely fine, lightly polished. £50-80

654 † Edward VII (1901-1910), Silver 50-Cents, 1905 (Pr 15; KM 15). Extremely fine. £50-80

655

656

655 † Elizabeth II (1952- ), Nickel-brass Specimen 5-Cents, 1971KH, 10-Cents (5), 1972KN Specimen, 1975, 1978 Specimen, 1980 (2), one a Specimen, 20-Cents (3), 1977, 1985, 1990 Specimen (KM 29.3, 28.3, 36, 59).

Generally mint state. (9) £300-400 The specimens are all from the recent dispersal of the King’s Norton coins, regardless of mintmark or not.

656 † Elizabeth II (1952- ), Cupro-nickel Specimen 50-Cents, 1971KN, Nickel-brass 50-Cents (3), 1977, 1979, 1990, Cupro-nickel Dollar (2), 1975 Specimen, 1979, 2-Dollars (5), 1979 Specimen, 1981 Specimen, 1984 Specimen, 1987, 1990 (KM 34, 41, 63, 35, 43, 37, 60). Generally mint state. (11) £300-400 The specimens are all from the recent dispersal of the King’s Norton coins, they aren’t up to the standards of the early KN pieces but there is no doubt that they were not struck to be circulated.

657 † Elizabeth II (1952- ), Nickel-brass Reverse Trial 10-Cents, 1980 (cf KM 28.3 for type); Error Cupro-nickel Dollar, 1973, plain edge (KM 35). Both uncirculated. (2) £150-200

WEST INDIES

Bermuda

658 † George III (1760-1820), Copper Penny, 1793, DROZ. F incuse on the shoulder, single pennant on the mainmast (Pr 5; KM 5). Mint state with almost full mint red and toning in the reverse exergue. £700-900 Amazing that one example of this coin has lasted this long without toning. I would love to know how it was stored!

British Guiana

659

660

659 † Essequibo and Demerara, George III (1760-1820), Copper ½-Stiver, 1813 (Pr 30; KM 9). Extremely fine, has been cleaned. £40-60 660 † Essequibo and Demerara, George III (1760-1820), Copper Proof ½-Stiver, 1813 (Pr 30a; KM 9). Superb glossy uncirculated Proof. £250-300

661 † Essequibo and Demerara, George III (1760-1820), Gilt-Copper Proof ½-Stiver, 1813 (Pr 30b; KM 9).

Uncirculated Proof, very minor hairlines but still choice and one of only a few known. £500-800

662

663

662 † Essequibo and Demerara, George III (1760-1820), Copper Stiver, 1813 (Pr 29; KM 10). Good extremely fine, slight handling marks and light rub on King’s cheek but semi-prooflike fields. £150-200 I have come to believe that all high grade examples of these were struck with proof-like fields, all at the same time, and the difference of a proof or a ‘minty example’ comes down to the care it has been given over the last 200 years.)

663 † Essequibo and Demerara, George III (1760-1820), Copper Proof Stiver, 1813 (Pr 29a; KM 10).

Choice uncirculated with 20% mint red. £300-400

664 † Essequibo and Demerara, George III (1760-1820), Gilt-Copper Proof Stiver, 1813 (Pr 29b; KM 10).

Uncirculated Proof, very minor hairlines. £500-800 As with the ½-Stiver, minor hairlines and with slight indications of die repair of a few of the letters, suggesting that these were struck near the end of the series. An indicator to look for with this die is a doubling of the top of the first 1 of the date, which the other two pieces in this sale do not have.

665 † Copper Private Stiver Token, 1838, obv seated Britannia, TRADE & NAVIGATION above, rev ONE STIVER at centre, PURE COPPER PREFERABLE TO PAPER around (KM Tn1). About extremely fine. £40-60

666 † William IV (1830-1837), Silver 1/8-Guilders (2), 1832, 1835 (Pr 26, 27; KM 16). Both frosty extremely fine with some toning, a few light handling marks on the 1832. (2) £150-200 Both ex Wheeler collection.

I am having serious doubts that these are known in mint state.

667 668 669 667 † William IV (1830-1837), Silver 1/8-Guilder, 1835/3/2 (as Pr 27; KM 16). Frosty good extremely fine, as nice an example as we have seen of a circulation striking for this type. £100-150 668 † William IV (1830-1837), Silver Proof 1/8-Guilder, 1835/3/2 (as Pr 27A; KM 16). Uncirculated Proof, light hairlines and somewhat dull which is very typical for the Proofs of this series. £350-450 You will find only the 1836 proof coins choice. What is very interesting about this overdate is that it is a different die to the previous 1/8-Guilder, the under numbers 3 and 2 are punched in lower and stronger. One could argue that this is because this was struck first and the die wore down through its striking, but the 1 is double struck while the circulation piece is not.

669 † William IV (1830-1837), Silver 1/8-Guilder, 1836 (Pr 28; KM 22). About uncirculated and nicely toned, a few handling marks but as nice as a collector could expect for this coin. £150-200

670

671

670 † William IV (1830-1837), Silver ¼-Guilder, 1809 (Pr 20; KM 4). In NGC holder graded MS63, pleasantly toned on prooflike fields. £150-200 671 † Essequibo and Demerara, George III (1760-1820), Silver ¼-Guilder, 1816 (Pr 21; KM 11). Mint state, a few very minor marks. £150-200 There seems to have been enough interest in England from collectors at the time, that a number of these 1816 coins, of all denominations, made it into contemporary collectors cabinets.

672 † William IV (1830-1837), Silver ¼-Guilder, 1833 (Pr 23; KM 17). Frosty about uncirculated with a touch of friction. £200-300

673 † William IV (1830-1837), Silver ¼-Guilders (2), 1835, 1835/3 (Pr 24; KM 17). Both about extremely fine and frosty, second with nick behind the head. (2) £100-150

674

675

674 † William IV (1830-1837), Silver Proof ¼-Guilder, 1835/3 (Pr 24a; KM 17). Uncirculated Proof, some uneven tone and a few hairlines but very pleasing to the naked eye. £300-400 675 † William IV (1830-1837), Silver ¼-Guilder, 1836 (Pr 25; KM 23). Superb uncirculated, patchy tone. £300-400

676 † Essequibo and Demerara, George III (1760-1820), Silver ½-Guilder, 1809 (Pr 15; KM 5). In PCGS holder graded MS63, toned and well struck for this type. £150-200 677 † Essequibo and Demerara, George III (1760-1820), Silver ½-Guilder, 1816 (Pr 16; KM 12). Virtually mint state and moderately toned, just a touch of friction on the King’s cheek. £150-200 678 † Essequibo and Demerara, George III (1760-1820), Silver ½-Guilder, 1832, flat topped 3 in date (Pr 17; KM 18). Extremely fine. £200-250 This has all the appearances of a mishandled proof, the polished edge is the give away, and the fields are very prooflike in spite of quite a few small handling marks.

679

680

679 † William IV (1830-1837), Silver ½-Guilder, 1835 (Pr 18; KM 18). Uncirculated and lightly toned with a choice reverse. £200-300 680 † William IV (1830-1837), Silver ½-Guilder, 1836 (Pr 19; KM 24). In NGC holder graded MS65, superb tone though rather dark, an amazing grade for this one year type. £400-600 This will be one of the few auctions where you can put together a true choice British Guiana type set.

681 † Essequibo and Demerara, George III (1760-1820), Silver Guilder, 1809 (Pr 10; KM 6). Uncirculated, moderately toned with semi-prooflike fields but light hairlines under the attractive blue tone. £300-400

682

683

682 † Essequibo and Demerara, George III (1760-1820), Silver Guilder, 1816 (Pr 11; KM 13). About uncirculated, lightly toned with a small rub on the King’s cheek. £200-300 683 † William IV (1830-1837), Silver Proof Guilder, 1832 (Pr 12a; KM 19). Choice uncirculated Proof but with a few light hairlines. £400-600

684 † William IV (1830-1837), Silver Guilders (2), 1832, 1835 (Pr 12,13; KM 19). Numerous light handling marks otherwise both extremely fine. (2) £250-300

685

686

685 † William IV (1830-1837), Silver Guilder, 1836 (Pr 14; KM 25). Frosty uncirculated with a choice reverse. £400-600 686 † William IV (1830-1837), Silver Proof Guilder, 1836, edge plain (Pr 14a; KM 25). Uncirculated proof, lightly hairlined and moderately toned. £400-600 As one who likes to question the origins of a coin, I have two observations to make here. Firstly I am grateful that the smaller denominations were struck in proof or we would not have some of the dates in nice grade at all; Secondly, where are the larger denomination proofs?

687

688

687 † Essequibo and Demerara, George III (1760-1820), Silver 2-Guilders, 1809 (Pr 7; KM 7). Choice mint state with semi-prooflike fields that show up a few hairlines. £1000-1500 One of six pieces that showed up in similar grade in the 1970s and were sold off over just a couple of years. There was great care taken in the production of a small group of 1-, 2- and 3-Guilders in 1809, perhaps because it was a completely new country, although the bust had been used on the 1805 and 1806 Irish 5- and 10-Pence.

688 † Essequibo and Demerara, George III (1760-1820), Silver 2-Guilders, 1816 (Pr 8; KM 14). Uncirculated with full mint frost. £800-1000

689 † William IV (1830-1837), Silver 2-Guilders, 1832 (Pr 9; KM 20). Very fine, toned. £500-800 This is another coin of British Guiana that probably doesn’t exist in uncirculated.

690 † Essequibo and Demerara, George III (1760-1820), Silver 3-Guilders, 1809 (Pr 4; KM 8). Choice uncirculated and well struck which is unusual for this poorly designed die. £2000-2500 ex Wheeler collection

691

692

691 † Essequibo and Demerara, George III (1760-1820), Silver 3-Guilders, 1816 (Pr 5; KM 15). Choice mint state. £1500-2000 The collectors who have taken care of this coin for the last 198 years deserve a round of applause.

692 † William IV (1830-1837), Silver 3-Guilders, 1832 (Pr 6; KM 21). Very fine. £700-900

693

694

695

696

693 † Victoria (1837-1901), Silver 4-Pence, 1891 (KM 26). Choice frosty uncirculated. £50-80 694 † Victoria (1837-1901), Silver Specimen 4-Pence, 1891 (KM 26). Choice uncirculated, lightly toned.

£200-300

No true proofs of this denomination were struck until George V, but there is no doubt that the mint took some extra time to strike these polished dies coins for presentation or preservation.

695 † Victoria (1837-1901), Silver Specimen 4-Pence, 1894 (KM 26). Choice uncirculated, lightly toned. £250-350 696 † Victoria (1837-1901), Silver 4-Pence, 1900 (KM 26). Frosty mint state.

£150-200

The availability of the 1891 has perhaps, made us forget how hard the other dates are to find in mint state. They deserve to be listed and appreciated on their own as very rare coins.

697

697 † Victoria (1837-1901), Silver 4-Pence, 1901 (KM 26). Frosty about mint state, some marks on the Queen’s neck. £150-200 698 † Edward VII (1901-1910), Silver 4-Pence, 1903 (KM 27). Mint state, nicely toned. £100-150 699 † Edward VII (1901-1910), Silver Matte Proof 4-Pence, 1903 (KM 27). Choice uncirculated, nicely toned. £300-400 Made exactly like the 1902 British matte coinage, but this was not always the case with the Edward VII proofs. His ten year reign showed us a number of different finishes to his coins for the British Commonwealth

700 † Edward VII (1901-1910), Silver 4-Pence, 1908 (KM 27). Frosty mint state, some light handling marks. £100-150

701

702

701 † Edward VII (1901-1910), Silver 4-Pence, 1909 (KM 27). Frosty mint state, some light handling marks. £120-180 702 † Edward VII (1901-1910), Silver 4-Pence, 1910 (KM 27). Frosty mint state. £150-200 703 † Guiana, George V (1910-1936), Silver 4-Pence, 1911 (KM 28). Frosty good extremely fine. £100-150 I think it was proven in the Remick auction that there is a lot more interest in the series than is generally given credit for. I bid up to £2700, before losing to a £2800 bid on an estimate of £800. I kicked myself after for not bidding higher on these pieces, the best that Remick was able to find. The Arielle collection gives you a number of opportunities to purchase coins that might only show up once a decade.

704 † George V (1910-1936), Silver 4-Pence, 1913 (KM 28). Frosty good extremely fine. £120-180

705

706

707

705 † George V (1910-1936), Silver 4-Pence, 1916 (KM 28). Frosty extremely fine, some handling marks but the toughest of the three dates of this type to find. £100-150 706 † George V (1910-1936), Silver 4-Pence, 1917 (KM 29). Good extremely fine, lightly toned. £100-150 707 † George V (1910-1936), Silver 4-Pence, 1918 (KM 29). Choice mint state, attractively toned, rare. £200-300

708 † George V (1910-1936), Silver 4-Pence, 1921 (KM 29). Choice mint state, lightly toned. £200-300 ex Pridmore collection, with ticket

709 † George V (1910-1936), Silver 4-Pence (2), 1923, 1925 (KM 29). First good, the second extremely fine.

(2) £150-200

710

711

712

710 † George V (1910-1936), Silver Proof 4-Pence, 1925 (KM 29). Uncirculated Proof, lacquer is unevenly applied on the edge so that the reeding is toned, a few minor marks, but the only piece known. £300-400 ex South Africa Mint dispersal

711 † George V (1910-1936), Silver 4-Pence, 1926 (KM 29). Extremely fine, pleasantly toned. £80-100 ex Pridmore collection, with ticket

712 † George V (1910-1936), Silver Proof 4-Pence, 1926 (KM 29). Superb uncirculated Proof, toned.

£400-600

Remick only had a good very fine and no proof.

713

714

715

713 † George V (1910-1936), Silver 4-Pence, 1931 (KM 29). Frosty uncirculated, moderately toned. £300-400 The lowest mintage of the whole series with 15,000 pieces struck.

A few proofs are known for this date, but this is the only UNC that I am aware of.

714 † George V (1910-1936), Silver 4-Pence, 1935 (KM 29). Frosty mint state, a few light bag marks. £200-300 Because of the relatively high mintage, I believe this date doesn’t receive the respect in deserves for an UNC piece!

715 † George V (1910-1936), Silver 4-Pence, 1936 (KM 29). Mint state, superbly toned. £200-300

716 † George VI (1936-1952), Silver 4-Pence (8), 1938, 1939, 1940, 1941, 1942, 1943, 1944, 1945 (KM 30).

All uncirculated or nearly so, the 1943 has some light spotting but it is also the rarest date of the series.

(8) £400-600 For George VI collectors or just collectors of this series, we are giving you a bit of a gift by putting these all together. It could take you tenor more years to do this again.

717

718

717 † George VI (1936-1952), Silver Proof 4-Pence, 1938 (KM 30). Uncirculated Proof, toned. £150-200 A few of this date are known and only come up for sale when important collections of Colonial coins are sold. Regrettably, the toning is not attractive, but it does not hide the fact that it is a proof strike.

718 † George VI (1936-1952), Silver Specimen 4-Pence, 1944 (KM 44). Gem uncirculated. £200-250 There are no proofs of this date but as with Great Britain and Southern Rhodesia, the coins of this date are known struck as specimens and for some reason they are only known for these countries. A war was going on, so the fact that these exist at all, is actually the miracle, enjoy this little piece of history while it is available.

719 † Gold “Dollar” Souvenir Medalet, undated (1910), struck by a Georgetown jeweller, obv sailing ship within a garter, rev St George and Dragon (PR 69). Ex-mount as is usual but still good extremely fine. £120-180

Bahamas

720

721

720 † George III (1760-1820), Copper Penny, 1806, edge grained (Pr 1; KM 1). Glossy dark brown, about uncirculated. £200-300 721 † George III (1760-1820), Bronzed Copper Proof Penny, 1806, edge grained (Pr 1A; KM 1). Mint state. £200-300

722 † George III (1760-1820), Restrike Bronzed Copper Proof Penny, 1806, edge plain (Pr 2; KM 1). Good extremely fine, light marks, proof only for this type struck from a rusty reverse die, rolled obverse edge due to worn or ill-prepared dies. £150-200

723 † George III (1760-1820), Restrike Bronzed Copper Proof Penny, 1807, edge grained, die axis ↑↑ unlike all the 1806 coins which are coin die axis (Pr 3; KM 1). Uncirculated Proof, light scratch down neck that looks as old as the coin because it is the same colour, a few light reverse spots. £3000-4000 ex Edward Roehrs, DNW Auction 28 September 2011, lot 3016, with note says that three known.

Curiosity makes this cataloguer want to figure out when this was struck. The engrailing is different on all three of these Bahamas Pennies that have engrailed edges. This piece is probably the crudest, in that they are just diagonal slits as opposed to the more ornate originals. The 1806 original proof has some die rust on the neck, while this appears to have been polished off on this piece, so the only rust we see on this piece is on the reverse, but not nearly as much as the 1806 restrike. The obverse of all of these pieces appear to be the same (besides the date), but the 1807 has an obvious difference in the tie at the back of the head, so could it have been a new die carefully prepared. It doesn’t appear to be a repair of any sort, just slightly different, but that is really the only difference one can find, that can’t be explained by die wear.

Barbados

724 † George III (1760-1820), Copper Proof Restrike Halfpenny, 1792 (KM Tn9). Mint state, toned. £150-200

725 † George III (1760-1820), Copper Penny, 1788, rev large pineapple, dot between BARBADOES and PENNY and on both sides of the date, 32mm (KM Tn8). Very fine. £50-80 ex Coin Galleries, 24 February 1984, lot 968

726 † George III (1760-1820), Bronzed Copper Proof Restrike Penny, 1788, 32mm (Pr 20). Mint state. £300-400

727

728

727 † George III (1760-1820), Copper Penny, 1792, 30.5mm (Pr 15). Good extremely fine, not a proof and therefore most unusual to find on such high grade. £100-150 728 † George III (1760-1820), Copper Proof Restrike Penny, 1792, rev dot dividing the legend, 32mm (Pr 23).

Mint state with some mint red showing through the tone, therefore not a bronzed proof, which is how these are usually found. £250-350

(2) £300-400 These were basically unknown until beteen three and five three piece sets came from an Ottawa family who obviously had a relative that worked at the Ottawa Mint. See lot 1570 in the Diana Collection part 2, Baldwin’s auction 58, 24 September 2008.

The Canadian Mint tended to do a matte surface on their coins, which made it difficult for new collectors to discern the difference between mint state coins and specimen coins. These two coins together allow the differences to be seen.

753

754

753 † Victoria (1837-1901), Cupro-nickel Penny, 1869 (KM 17). Mint state, a few very light spots, still nicer than many of the uncirculated examples that are available. £80-100 754 † Victoria (1837-1901), Cupro-nickel Penny, 1870 (KM 17). Mint state. £120-180

Choice uncirculated Proof. £200-300 A number of this date came out of the Mint in 1975 in all ranges of quality. There were uncirculated, what we call specimen strikes now and proofs as this piece with the 3D effect that makes these pieces so desirable.

756 † Victoria (1837-1901), Cupro-nickel Penny (2), 1871, 1880 (KM 17). First with a few spots on the reverse, uncirculated, second about extremely fine. (2) £120-180

757 † Victoria (1837-1901), Cupro-nickel Specimen Penny, 1882 (KM 17).

SP65.

In PCGS holder graded £800-1200

There is a question of where these coins were struck, as there is with the Mauritius 1877 coinage, but the colour is too similar to the others that an opinion cannot yet be formed. My records show that only two of these were in the Heaton Archives. Not in the Diana sale, but Dick Ford had an example that sold for £540, and Remick’s brought £950.

758 † Victoria (1837-1901), Cupro-nickel Penny, 1882H (KM 17). Tiny carbon impurities on the obverse surface, otherwise frosty uncirculated. £800-1200 Not in Diana and Ford and Remick had good very fine.

763 † Victoria (1837-1901), Cupro-nickel Penny, 1890 (KM 17). Mint state with semi-prooflike fields. £200-250 Of our acknowledged collectors, only Ford had an example approaching this grade.

777

776 † George V (1910-1936), Cupro-nickel Penny, 1926 (KM 26). In PCGS holder graded MS66. £80-100 777 † George V (1910-1936), Cupro-nickel Penny, 1928 (KM 26). Mint state. £50-80

778 † George VI (1936-1952), Nickel-brass Proof Penny, 1952 (KM 35). Mint state with light tone. £150-200 ex Baldwin’s Auction 28, 9 October 2001, lot 1452

779

780

781

779 † Elizabeth II (1952- ), Nickel-brass Proof Penny, 1953 (KM 37). Uncirculated Proof, a few hairlines, toned. £100-150 780 † Elizabeth II (1952- ), Nickel-brass Proof Penny, 1955 (KM 37). Superb uncirculated Proof.

£120-180

781 † Elizabeth II (1952- ), Nickel-brass Proof Penny, 1958 (KM 37). Uncirculated Proof, toned, a few light marks behind the Queen’s head. £80-100

782

783

784

782 † Elizabeth II (1952- ), Nickel-brass Proof Penny, 1962 (KM 37). Uncirculated Proof, a few very small marks. £80-100 783 † Elizabeth II (1952- ), Nickel-brass Proof Penny, 1963 (KM 37). Uncirculated Proof, small nick by Queen’s nose, toned. £80-100 784 † Kingston, Copper Penny Token, by William Smith, undated (1829); Jamaica Street Car Co Ltd, 1-Fare Aluminium Token, undated (Pr 132, 140). First toned, good extremely fine, the second extremely fine.

(2) £80-120

Proof Sets

785 † Victoria (1837-1901), Three Piece Cupro-nickel Proof Set, Farthing, ½-Penny and Penny, 1884 (KM 15, 16, 17). Choice uncirculated proofs, very lightly toned. (3) £1500-2000 ex J J Pittman collection, David Akers Numismatic, August 1999, lot 3615 This is still the only 1884 set that we can find a record of and, one of the only three piece Victorian Proof sets known. The Victorian three-piece proof sets that Dick Ford had are probably unique to the collector, because the other known sets are all in institutions.

786 † George V (1910-1936), Three Piece Cupro-nickel Proof Set, Farthing, ½-Penny and Penny, 1926 (KM 24, 25, 26). Superb uncirculated Proofs. (3) £800-1000 Again, as a set, this is the only George V Royal Mint three piece Proof set in Cupro-nickel that we have found a record of. There is only the matte proof 1918C and 1919C sets from Canada to compare.

787 † George VI (1936-1952), Three Piece Nickel-brass Proof Set, Farthing, ½-Penny and Penny, 1937 (KM 27, 28, 29). Choice uncirculated Proofs, lightly toned. (3) £300-400 If any serious collector of Jamaica was to have a proof set, this and the 1950 were the ones they would be likely to own, as these have come to market every few years or so, perhaps ten sets of each date were produced for non-Mint display and given out to interested collectors.

788 † George VI (1936-1952), Three Piece Cupro-nickel Proof Set, Farthing, ½-Penny and Penny, 1950 (KM 33, 34, 35). Choice uncirculated Proofs, lightly toned. (3) £300-400

British West Indies

789 † Anchor Coinage, Silver 1/16-Dollar, 1820 (KM 1; Br 860, as a Canadian token; Pr 13). Mint state, unevenly toned but frosty and attractive. £150-200 struck for use in Mauritius

790 † Anchor Coinage, Silver 1/16-Dollar, 1822 (KM 1; Br 860; Pr 14). Uncirculated, moderately toned. £150-200 struck for use in Mauritius (total 142,222) and the West Indies (total 561,710), which is why many ended up in Canada due to all the trade between Canada and the West Indies, mostly for rum but also for lumber.

791

792

793

791 † Anchor Coinage, Silver 1/8-Dollar, 1820 (KM 2; Br 859; Pr 11). Extremely fine. £100-150 struck for use in Mauritius

792 † Anchor Coinage, Silver Proof 1/8-Dollar, 1820 (KM 2; Br 859; Pr 11). Mint state, toned.

£250-350

793 † Anchor Coinage, Silver 1/8-Dollar, 1822/1 (KM 2; Br 859; Pr 12). Mint state. £200-300 struck for use in Mauritius (total 142,223) and the West Indies (total 414,368), where they made their way to Canada and enough were discovered there to have Pierre Breton to add them to his book on Canadian tokens as “Br 859”.

794 † Anchor Coinage, Silver 1/8-Dollar, 1822 (KM 2; Br 859; Pr 12). Frosty mint state. £200-300

795 † Anchor Coinage, Silver ¼-Dollar, 1820 (KM 3; Br 858; Pr 9). Frosty uncirculated, light handling marks and a toning spot on either side. £200-300 with a note that this is ex Goodman

796 † Anchor Coinage, Silver Proof ¼-Dollar, 1820 (KM 3; Br 858; Pr 9). Choice uncirculated Proof, toned. £400-600

797

798

797 † Anchor Coinage, Silver ¼-Dollar, 1822/1 (KM 3; Br 858; Pr 10). About mint state, has been cleaned. £120-180 798 † Anchor Coinage, Silver ¼-Dollar, 1822 (KM 3; Br 858; Pr 10). Uncirculated, pleasantly toned. £150-200

799 † Anchor Coinage, Silver ½-Dollar, 1822/1 (KM 4; Pr 8). About mint state, frosty and choice. £800-1000 Pridmore mentions that a quantity of the Anchor coinage was sent from Mauritius to the West Indies after it changed its currency system to Sterling in 1826. Most of the high grade pieces known are 2 over a hint of a 1, so the catalogue pricing needs to reflect this.

800 † Anchor Coinage, Silver Pattern 1/100-Dollar, 1823, obv bust of George IV, GEOR: VI D:G: BRI:REX, rev denomination 1/100 DOLLAR at centre, wreath around, COLONIAL above (KM Pn4; Pr 17). Choice uncirculated pattern, toned. £1200-1800

British Caribbean Territories

801 † Elizabeth II (1952- ), Bronze Proof ½-Cent and Cent, 1958 (KM 1, 2). First with a few hairlines in the lacquered surface, second one with obverse stain, both uncirculated. (2) £100-150

802 † Elizabeth II (1952- ), Bronze Proof Cents (4), 1960 (2), 1961, 1962 (KM 2). All uncirculated Proofs, first with some hairlines and uneven toning, second uncirculated with lustre, third darkly toned, last with lustre.

(4) £200-300

803 † Elizabeth II (1952- ), Bronze Proof 2-Cents (3), 1961, 1962, 1964 (KM 3). All brilliant uncirculated Proofs, the 1962 lacquered. (3) £150-200 These copper coins were struck unofficially by a mint employee who enjoyed owning these coins, but did not take good care of them. The story is that there were kept loose, in a bowl and that is why so many have marks.

804 † Elizabeth II (1952- ), Cupro-nickel Proof 25-Cents, 1957 (KM 6). Light fingerprint marks otherwise uncirculated. £100-150

British Honduras

805 † Victoria (1837-1901), Bronze Cents (2), 1885, 1888 (KM 1). Both mint state with subdued mint red, some handling marks. (2) £150-200 The first three dates are not particularly rare and have the appearance of having been together for some time in a, not very well cared for, bag of these coins. The colour is usually quite pleasing but most have handling marks, I believe it is almost impossible to have significant mint red without these marks. Regretfully the 1894 was not part of this ‘bag’ and remains very rare to this day.

806

807

806 † Victoria (1837-1901), Bronze Cent, 1889 (KM 1). Mint state with full mint red and a minimum of marks. £100-150 The colour is different from the typical hoard red of the two coins in the previous lot.

807 † Victoria (1837-1901), Bronze Cent, 1894 (KM 1). Glossy about uncirculated with a littlef mint red. £150-200 Even with the same mintage as the previous date, these were not kept and this is about as good as one can expect unless you are willing to pay the money for a proof.

808 † Victoria (1837-1901), Bronze Proof Cent, 1894 (KM 1). Uncirculated Proof, moderately toned with a few very light marks. £800-1000 I can’t imagine that there were 25 struck as stated in Krause. The Remick example was UNC with lustre but had a bad flan flaw that took away a great deal the appeal of the coin. Pridmore mentions a piece in the Royal Mint collection.

809 † Edward VII (1901-1910), Bronze Cents (2), 1904, 1906 (KM 11). First choice mint state, the second good very fine. (2) £100-150 For some reason these 1904 coins were kept in some number. They were also stored with a bit more care as they tend to come choicer than their Victorian counterparts, but this will be the last “available” B.H. 1 cent until 1918.

The 1906 is the same mintage as the 1904 but 50 times rarer in top grade.

810

811

810 † Edward VII (1901-1910), Bronze Cent, 1909 (KM 11). Extremely fine for issue, somewhat dark and with a little verdigris at the date. £100-150 With a mintage of 25,000, it will be exceedingly difficult to find anything better.

811 † George V (1910-1936), Bronze Cent, 1911 (KM 15). Extremely fine, attempted cleaning at some time, now retoned. £100-120 For a type collector on a budget, an attractive example of this three year type, at what should be a reasonable price.

812

813

812 † George V (1910-1936), Bronze Proof Cent, 1911 (KM 15). Choice uncirculated Proof with subdued mint red. £800-1000 Unlisted but from the South Africa mint dispersal. Much nicer condition than many of the coins from that source.

813 † George V (1910-1936), Bronze Cent, 1912H (KM 15). Choice brown uncirculated. £300-400 ex Remick collection, Spink auction, 24 January 2007, lot 1087.

814 † George V (1910-1936), Bronze Cent, 1913 (KM 15). Choice uncirculated with almost full red obverse and subdued red reverse. £500-700

also ex Remick, collection, Spink auction, 24 January 2007, lot 1088.

With a mintage of 25,000 at the end of a series, it is a wonder that any exist at all in this grade.

815

816

817

815 † George V (1910-1936), Bronze Cent, 1914 (KM 19). Uncirculated with a touch of mint red and a vertical toning line on both sides, despite this it is still one of the finest known even with a relatively high mintage and being the first year of issue. £100-150 816 † George V (1910-1936), Bronze Proof Cent, 1914 (KM 19). Glossy brown, choice uncirculated with subdued mint red on the reverse. £400-600 ex South African mint dispersal, unlisted and the only piece that appeared.

817 † George V (1910-1936), Bronze Cent, 1916H (KM 19). About uncirculated, mostly brown with a touch of reverse mint red and also a few toning streaks, spot of verdigris on the obverse. £100-150

818

819

820

818 † George V (1910-1936), Bronze Cent, 1918 (KM 19). Choice brilliant uncirculated. £150-200 A small group of these were also kept, not as many as the previous ‘hoard’ dates, but enough to keep collectors of this series with a bit of patience happy with an example in their collections. Trouble is, that it spoiled novice collectors of this series, into thinking that they can find all dates that look like this.

819 † George V (1910-1936), Bronze Cent, 1919 (KM 19). Brown uncirculated with a touch of mint red at the edge. £100-150 This is about all one can expect for this date.

820 † George V (1910-1936), Bronze Cent, 1924 (KM 19). Uncirculated with 40% mint red. £150-200 The finest circulation strike that I have seen of this date.

821 † George V (1910-1936), Bronze Proof Cent, 1924 (KM 19). Choice brown uncirculated Proof.

£500-800

ex South Africa mint dispersal. This is the finest piece of this date that I have seen. Pridmore mentions a piece in the Royal Mint collection

822

823

824

822 † George V (1910-1936), Bronze Cent, 1926 (KM 19). Choice brilliant uncirculated with mint red.

£200-300

This is not one of the small “hoard” dates and I have not seen finer or comparable. Someone in 1926 must have taken this from the dies just after it was struck and then wrapped it up so that Remick could enjoy owning it (lot 1093, part 3) for awhile and then to this collection.

823 † George V (1910-1936), Bronze Proof Cent, 1926 (KM 19). Choice uncirculated Proof with subdued mint red. £500-800 824 † George V (1910-1936), Bronze Cent, 1936 (KM 19). Choice uncirculated, lightly subdued mint red. £80-100 ex J J Pittman collection, lot 3355, 8 August 1999

825

826

827

825 † George VI (1936-1952), Bronze Cent, 1937 (KM 21). Uncirculated with 30% mint red and a little spotting, probably rarer in this condition than the Proof of this date. £120-180 826 † George VI (1936-1952), Bronze Cent, 1937 (KM 21). Uncirculated Proof with subdued mint red, numerous light handling marks. £200-300 827 † George VI (1936-1952), Bronze Cent, 1939 (KM 21). Brilliant uncirculated with almost full mint red. £50-80 One of the most common coins of George VI British Honduras in uncirculated, that Krause still has not corrected.

828 † George VI (1936-1952), Bronze Cent, 1942 (KM 21). Glossy uncirculated.

£120-180

You probably will not find a better better example of this coin.

829 † George VI (1936-1952), Bronze Cents (2), 1943, 1944 (KM 21). Both good extremely fine, the second a pleasant light brown color with some mint red. (2) £100-150

830 † George VI (1936-1952), Bronze Cent, 1945 (KM 21). In NGC holder graded MS65, with some mint red. £80-100

831 † George VI (1936-1952), Bronze Cent, 1947 (KM 21). About uncirculated with much subdued mint red, the obverse is unevenly toned. £120-180

832 † George VI (1936-1952), Bronze Proof Cent, 1949 (KM 24). Uncirculated Proof, mostly red, a few light marks. £150-200 As with the Southern Rhodesia 1949 Penny, this is the most common of George VI, in that there might be 20 maximum known.

833 † George VI (1936-1952), Bronze Cents (3), 1949 NGC MS65 RB, 1950, 1951 (KM 24). First in NGC holder graded MS65RB, the others choice uncirculated. (3) £40-60 Very choice examples of these common coins, it is funny how these coins were able to keep their mint red while very few coins of Elizabeth, especially the Proofs, were able to, as they are usually found well toned

834

835

834 † George VI (1936-1952), Bronze Proof Cent, 1950 (KM 24). Choice uncirculated Proof, the obverse toned, the reverse mostly red. £150-200 ex RJ Ford collection

835 † Elizabeth II (1952- ), Bronze Proof Cent, 1954 (KM 27). Uncirculated Proof, toned. £80-120

836

837

838

836 † Elizabeth II (1952- ), Bronze Proof Cent, 1956 (KM 30). Uncirculated Proof, toned with a toning streak on the darker obverse. £80-120 837 † Elizabeth II (1952- ), Bronze Cent, 1958 (KM 30). Brilliant uncirculated with almost full mint red and most unusual to find the coin this nice. £80-120 The 1958 and 1959 1-cents must have gone quickly to British Honduras before there was a chance to gather a few for English collectors, making them so rare today.

838 † Elizabeth II (1952- ), Bronze Cent, 1959 (KM 30). Uncirculated with about 15% mint red around the edges. £80-120 Much scarcer than the 1958 in nice condition although catalogues have failed to catch up with this.

839

840

839 † Elizabeth II (1952- ), Bronze Proof Cent, 1959 (KM 30). Brilliant uncirculated Proof but with numerous light bagmarks. £80-120 840 † Elizabeth II (1952- ), Bronze Proof Cent, 1961 (KM 30). Uncirculated Proof, mostly toned but with numerous light bagmarks. £50-80

841

842

841 † Victoria (1837-1901), Silver 5-Cents, 1894 (KM 7). Frosty extremely fine. £120-180 842 † Victoria (1837-1901), Silver Proof 5-Cents, 1894 (KM 7). Choice uncirculated Proof, toned but with a touch of spotting. £400-600 ex Wayte Raymond collection The Proofs of 1894 come up for sale on occasion, never as a set, just a piece here and a piece there. They are always impaired. This is the first Proof that I would call choice, regardless of the spotting. Why they come so impaired is a great mystery, it is as if most of them were put in a bag and shaken for five minutes!.

843 † Edward VII (1901-1910), Cupro-nickel 5-Cents (2), 1907, 1909 (KM 14). First about extremely fine, toned, the second cleaned, otherwise very fine. (2) £120-180 Rare coins that do come very occasionally uncirculated, we were just never able to grab one when they showed up

844

845

846

844 † George V (1910-1936), Cupro-nickel 5-Cents, 1911 (KM 16). Mint state, a few very light marks.

£250-300

With a mintage of 10,000, it is never good to be too fussy on coins such as these.

845 † George V (1910-1936), Cupro-nickel Specimen Proof 5-Cents, 1912H (KM 16). Uncirculated Proof, toned and a little dull. £200-300 This has dulled and toned a bit since it was bought at the Dick Ford sale, which is a shame.

846 † George V (1910-1936), Cupro-nickel 5-Cents, 1918 (KM 16). Superb mint state.

£300-400

ex Remick collection

847

848

849

847 † George V (1910-1936), Cupro-nickel Specimen Proof 5-Cents, 1918 (KM 16). Uncirculated Proof, lacquered with one small piece of lint in the lacquer. £500-800 ex South African dispersal

848 † George V (1910-1936), Cupro-nickel 5-Cents, 1919 (KM 16). Virtually mint state.

£150-200

ex Remick, Spink auction, 24 January 2007, lot 1085.

849 † George V (1910-1936), Cupro-nickel 5-Cents, 1936 (KM 16). Mint state. £150-200 30 years ago a few of the 5-cent and 10-cent of 1936 could be found at coin shows, but they were quickly rounded up and found there way to very specialised collections.

850

851

850 † George VI (1936-1952), Cupro-nickel 5-Cents, 1939, one year type (KM 22). Brilliant uncirculated, superb and choice. £80-100 A one year type due to being struck in cupro-nickel but a number of these were saved and collectors today can at least have the 1939 1-, - and 10-cent in UNC with a bit of patience

851 † George VI (1936-1952), Cupro-nickel Proof 5-Cents, 1939 (KM 22). Choice uncirculated Proof. £200-300

852

853

854

852 † George VI (1936-1952), Nickel-brass 5-Cents, 1942 (KM 22a). About uncirculated, toned. £100-150 A few of these are known in toned AU-UNC, and is probably more common in proof than mint state!

853 † George VI (1936-1952), Nickel-brass Proof 5-Cents, 1942 (KM 22a). Choice brilliant uncirculated Proof, a few light marks but these are normally found much worse. £250-350 Why these would be struck during a World War is a question that has always intrigued me, along with the Southern Rhodesia 1942 Proofs, two countries half a world apart.

854 † George VI (1936-1952), Nickel-brass 5-Cents, 1944 (KM 22a).

Extremely fine, a little bit of spotting. £100-150 I really doubt if this is known in mint state.

855

856

855 † George VI (1936-1952), Nickel-brass 5-Cents, 1945 (KM 22a). Lustrous mint state. £100-150 856 † George VI (1936-1952), Nickel-brass Proof 5-Cents, 1949 (KM 25). Brilliant uncirculated Proof, lightly toned with a hint of a reverse fingerprint. £200-300

857 † George VI (1936-1952), Nickel-brass 5-Cents (3), 1949, 1950, 1952, (KM 25). All lustrous mint state, the 1952 particularly choice. (3) £100-150

858

859

860

858 † Elizabeth II (1952- ), Nickel-brass Proof 5-Cents, 1956 (KM 31). Uncirculated Proof, toned but free of the marks that bedevil the Elizabeth Proof coins. £120-180 859 † Elizabeth II (1952- ), Nickel-brass Proof 5-Cents, 1958 (KM 31). Uncirculated Proof, lightly toned and almost free of any marks. £150-200 If you want a nice example of this date for your collection, you pretty much have to buy a proof.

860 † Elizabeth II (1952- ), Nickel-brass Proof 5-Cents, 1962 (KM 31). Uncirculated Proof, lightly toned and almost free of any marks. £120-180

861 † Elizabeth II (1952- ), Cupro-nickel Pattern 5-Cents, 1962 (KM -). Mint state, a few light spots, unlisted. £300-400 Not struck as a Proof but it shows that the Mint was thinking of a new metal for this country, perhaps because of the faster deterioration of the brass pieces than a nickel piece. In the end they used aluminium for the Belize series.

862

863

862 † Victoria (1837-1901), Silver 10-Cents, 1894 (KM 8). Good extremely fine, attractively toned with a few light marks, but exceedingly hard to find in better grade. £150-200 863 † Victoria (1837-1901), Silver Proof 10-Cents, 1894 (KM 3). Choice uncirculated Proof, toned.

£800-1000

It looks like it was stored with the PROOF 5 cents in this sale, and we would have put a set together if we had the 25- and 50-cents.

I had doubts that the Remick 25-cent piece was a Proof.

864

865

864 † George V (1910-1936), Silver 10-Cents, 1918 (KM 20). In PCGS holder graded MS61, brilliant and frosty with a some minor bagmarks, still a pleasing piece and one of the finest known of this date. £400-600 865 † George V (1910-1936), Silver Matte Proof 10-Cents, 1918 (KM 20). Uncirculated Proof, toned. £800-1000 The toning is uneven but with a bit of experience with matte Proofs and a proper glass one can see that this is no doubt a Proof.

Most interesting that matte Proofs were struck when brilliant Proofs were the norm.

866

867

868

869

866 † George V (1910-1936), Silver 10-Cents, 1919 (KM 20). In ANACS holder graded AU53, about extremely fine with attractive tone but with many light marks on both sides. £50-80 867 † George V (1910-1936), Silver 10-Cents, 1936 (KM 20). Frosty uncirculated but with a number of light marks in front of the King’s face, the reverse is quite choice. £250-350 ex JJ Pittman collection

868 † George V (1910-1936), Silver Proof 10-Cents, 1936 (KM 20). Uncirculated Proof with grey tone, a little dull but essentially free of marks. £400-600 I have trouble believing there were 50 of these struck, unless a significant number ended up being melted.

869 † George VI (1936-1952), Silver 10-Cents, 1939 (KM 23). Choice mint state. £80-100

870 † George VI (1936-1952), Silver Proof 10-Cents, 1939 (KM 23). Uncirculated Proof, dark grey tone but free of marks. £300-400

871 † George VI (1936-1952), Silver 10-Cents (2), 1942, 1946 (KM 23). Both frosty good very fine but somewhat bagmarked. (2) £100-150 only 10,000 minted of each date

872 † George VI (1936-1952), Silver 10-Cents, 1943 (KM 23). Virtually mint state, lightly toned. £300-400 873 † George VI (1936-1952), Silver 10-Cents, 1944 (KM 23). Frosty extremely fine, lightly toned with a few handling marks. £150-200 874 † Elizabeth II (1952- ), Cupro-nickel Proof 10-Cents, 1956 (KM 32). Uncirculated Proof, grey tone but free of marks. £100-150

875 † Victoria (1837-1901), Silver 25-Cents, 1894 (KM 9). In NGC holder graded PF64, not a proof but it is prooflike with a nicely frosted bust of Victoria. £800-1000 The 1894 does come prooflike in EF, give or take. It is very different in appearance to the obvious Proofs of the 1894 1-, 5- and 10-Cent in this sale. It doesn’t make a big difference in pricing as either as a Proof or a choice UNC. It is still a very important type coin. For the really fussy, this has a number of light marks in front of the Queen’s face, so perhaps a MS63 would be more appropriate, still the finest I have seen.

877

878

876 † Victoria (1837-1901), Silver 25-Cents, 1895 (KM 9). Frosty about uncirculated but with numerous handling marks. £200-300 It is frustrating to see as so many coins of this country have been mishandled. The collector of top grade examples of British Honduras coins has to ignore this, knowing that a mark free example may never be available to them.

877 † Victoria (1837-1901), Silver 25-Cents, 1897 (KM 9). Good very fine, moderately toned with some handling marks. £50-80 878 † Victoria (1837-1901), Silver 25-Cents, 1901 (KM 9). Frosty extremely fine, some handling marks, mostly on the reverse. £150-200

881 † George V (1910-1936), Silver 25-Cents, 1911 (KM 17). Good extremely fine, darkly toned with a few handling marks. £250-350

883 † George VI (1936-1952), Cupro-nickel 25-Cents, 1952 (KM 26). Extremely fine. £50-80 As far as I can tell there are two known in choice mint state and a small handful of proofs, so for this one year type, one can’t be terribly fussy.

888 † Victoria (1837-1901), Silver 50-Cents (2), 1895, 1897 (KM 10). Both about extremely fine with a few handling marks, first cleaned, the seconed toned which diguises the marks. (2) £150-200

889 † Victoria (1837-1901), Silve 50-Cents, 1901 (KM 10). Choice mint state, nicely toned. £3000-5000 Bought Karl Stephens , October 1996 where he has marked ex Pridmore.

890 † Edward VII (1901-1910), Silver 50-Cents, 1907 (KM 13). Extremely fine with most of the frost still there and only a few very light marks. £250-350

891 † George V (1910-1936), Silver 50-Cents, 1911 (KM 18). About mint state, toned. £1000-1500 It is mostly the reverse friction that keeps this away from being mint state. When this was first sold I mentioned it was the finest I have seen of the date and I have seen nothing since to change my opinion.

892 † George V (1910-1936), Silver 50-Cents, 1919 (KM 18). Frosty uncirculated and lightly toned.

Mint state, some die polishing in the fields, the key date of the NZ series. £500-800 With a note that says it is “ex Downies, 1 of 12 bought by T.M. Eccles 1977” Proofs generally are not difficult to find as the 364 sets were often broken up for the crowns.

901 † George VI (1936-1952), Silver and Cupro-nickel 3-Pence (14), 1937, 1939, 1940, 1941, 1942, 1943, 1944, 1945, 1946, 1947, 1948, 1950, 1951, 1952 (KM 7, 7a, 15). Generally mint state uncirculated, the first two good extremely fine, the 1941 cleaned, the 1945 extremely fine, the 1946 very fine. (14) £200-300 These have been put together as a lot to show what coins can be found mint state and the fact that there are some dates that can be very difficult to find choice. It should be mentioned a number of these coins are early purchases where they were graded uncirculated, but are not.

Information for Bidders Admission Admission to our Public Auction is free; by registering for the auction you are agreeing to abide by the conditions set out in our printed catalogue and on our website.

Examination of Lots You are encouraged to view the lots before sale and attend the auction in person. Viewing of the lots may be done by appointment in the week prior to the auction at our offices or on an official viewing day.

The catalogue is printed with estimates alongside each lot.

This is intended as a price guide for interested bidders. It is our opinion of the value of the lot but bidders should rely on their own judgement of the value. Bidders should be prepared for prices to rise if there is competition for the lot. All lots can achieve hammer prices both above and below the published pre-sale estimate. Usually each lot is reserved at 80% of the lower estimate and bids below this are unlikely to be accepted.

Bidding at the Auction Bidding may be carried out by you in person or by a representative of your choice (please ask us for further information). Please collect your bidding number from the registration table at the auction room. You should arrive in plenty of time for the lots you are interested in.

A time guide is printed at the front of the catalogue and approximately 200 lots are sold per hour. However bidders are reminded that this is a guide only and Baldwin's will not be responsible if you miss your lot.

If you do not have an account with us, we may ask you for a reference from a bank or other credit referee (eg another dealer or auction house) and you may be asked to leave a deposit before bidding.

Absentee Commission Bids If you are unable to attend the Auction personally, you may place a commission bid through us and we will try and purchase the lot for you at the lowest price possible. You must complete a Commission Bid Form found in this catalogue which must include your highest bid for each lot.

All commission bids must be submitted in writing either by

post, email or fax to Baldwin's offices to arrive not later than 24 hours before the auction. We do not accept bids left by telephone. Please include your street address in emails.

Commission bids received less than 24 hours before the auction will only be accepted at our discretion and we cannot guarantee that the commission bid will be placed.

We do not charge for these services and therefore we will not be liable for errors in executing commission bids.

We offer a state-of-the-art Live Bidding system over the internet via www.the-saleroom.com/baldwins. This service is free and requires you only to register your details, together with a valid credit card for verification. You may either bid live, making use of the audio and video, or leave commission bids on the website which will be automatically executed on your behalf. These commission bids cannot be seen by the auctioneer. Invoices will be mailed to you after the auction in the usual way

Purchase Price The price paid by the bidder is the hammer price plus 20% buyer's premium (plus VAT). Lots exported outside of the European Union may not be subject to VAT. Please ask for further information from us where this may apply to you.

You are encouraged to arrange your own collection/shipment.

Alternatively lots will be sent by Royal Mail, recorded and insured delivery. Postage and insurance will be charged as additional costs.

Payment An invoice will be supplied on request during and after the Auction showing the total amount due to us. You must pay in full before the lot(s) can be delivered to you.

Guarantee We are a member of the International Association of Professional Numismatists and therefore, as a buyer, you will benefit from a guarantee for all lots against forgeries as required by IAPN’s rules of membership. Please see the Conditions of Sale for details of the terms of our guarantee

CONDITIONS OF SALE 1.

APPLICATION AND CONTRACTUAL RELATIONSHIP

1.1.

By making a bid, a Bidder acknowledges his acceptance of these Conditions and will be bound by them.

1.2.

Baldwin's acts as agent for the Seller for the sale of a Lot to the Buyer unless Baldwin's is the owner of the Lot. As such, Baldwin’s is not responsible for any default by the Seller or the Buyer.

1.3.

The contract for the sale of a Lot is between the Seller and the Buyer and is subject to these Conditions and the Seller's Conditions.

2.

PRE-SALE AND DESCRIPTIONS

2.1.

Statements made by us in a Catalogue, during the course of the Auction or elsewhere, describing a Lot including its authorship, origin, age, size, condition, genuineness, authenticity or value are intended as a guide for interested Bidders. These are statements of opinion only and should not be relied on as statements of fact. Illustrations of the Lots are for general identification only.

2.2.

Lots by their nature are usually aged and varied in condition. The absence of any description of a defect, damage, modification or restoration in any Catalogue does not imply that there are none.

2.3.

Coins are graded to accepted UK standards to the best ability of our specialists. You acknowledge that the grading of coins is subjective and may vary from specialist to specialist, as the process is by nature an art and not a science. For this reason, we do not automatically accept and are not bound by the opinions of third party coin grading services for any purposes including before and after the sale of a Lot. 2.4.

If you are interested in a Lot, we strongly recommend that you view it in person before the Auction and form your own opinion of the description of the Lot.

4.4.

Subject to Condition 4.2, the contract for the sale of the Lot is concluded on the fall of the hammer.

4.5.

All Lots are offered for sale subject to any Reserve.

4.6.

You cannot cancel your purchase of a Lot once the hammer has fallen.

5.

PAYMENT

5.1.

The Purchase Price payable by a Buyer is the Hammer Price plus a Buyer’s Premium of 20% of the Hammer Price. VAT is payable in addition unless the Lot is exempt or zero-rated.

5.2.

The symbol ‘G’ appearing next to a lot in this catalogue denotes the item is ‘Investment Gold’ and, therefore, a VAT-registered trader can submit a claim to H M Revenue and Customs to recover the VAT element of the Buyers’ Premium 5.3.

Any lot marked with a dagger (†) is subject to import VAT at 5%, this will be added to the hammer price and is payable by the buyer if resident in the EU. If the lot is being exported outside the EU, this import VAT can be waived or refunded on proof of export.

5.4.

The Buyer of a Lot shall pay the Purchase Price in full before the Lot can be delivered to the Buyer.

5.5.

Except where Condition 5.4 applies, any part of the Purchase Price outstanding after the Auction shall be payable by you within 14 days of the date of the auction, the due date.

5.6.

The Purchase Price is payable by you in full. You are not entitled to set-off any amounts that you claim are due from us or anyone else or make any other deductions.

2.5.

We reserve the right to change any aspect of the published description of a Lot prior to the auction. Any change may be published on our website, displayed at the auction, announced by the auctioneer prior to the sale and/or communicated in any other manner.

5.7.

Unless we have agreed in writing otherwise, you shall act on your own account as principal in respect of the sale and therefore if you accept a commission from a third party to bid on their behalf, you do so at your own risk and will remain personally liable (jointly with your principal) to us for the Purchase Price in accordance with these Conditions.

2.6.

All copyright in Catalogues including images belongs to Baldwin's.

5.8.

3.

ABSENTEE COMMISSION BIDS

3.1.

If you are unable to attend the Auction personally, you may submit a Commission Bid and we will endeavour to purchase the Lot on your behalf for the lowest price possible. You must submit this in writing using the Commission Bid Form and send it to us by post, fax, email or delivery to our offices at least 24 hours prior to the Auction.

3.2.

For all Commission Bids, you must supply your name and address, contact telephone number and email. You must also provide the Lot number and description of the Lot, the amount of your Bid and any other information requested in the Commission Bid Form or by us. It is your responsibility to provide the correct information and to ensure that we have received your Commission Bid. 3.3.

We do not charge for this service and therefore we will not incur any liability for executing (or failing to execute) the Commission Bid. 3.4.

If you submit a Commission Bid verbally (whether by telephone or otherwise), we shall not be responsible for any misunderstandings (by either us or our agents or you) in relation to your Bid. All bids made in this way must be confirmed in writing before the auction 3.5.

If we receive two Commission Bids for equal value for the same Lot, the Bid received first by us shall take precedence.

3.6.

"Buy" commissions [and unlimited Commission Bids] will not be accepted.

4.

AUCTION SALE

4.1.

Before the auction, all potential Bidders must notify their name and address to the auctioneer and if required provide proof of identity to our satisfaction and bank or other credit references.

4.2.

The highest Bidder for each Lot shall be the Buyer. If there is a dispute, the auctioneer shall have absolute discretion to determine the dispute including re-offering the disputed Lot for sale.

4.3.

A Bidder must submit a bid for an entire Lot and each lot constitutes a separate sale. The auctioneer shall however have an absolute discretion to divide any Lot, to combine any two or more Lots, or to withdraw any Lot from the auction without giving any reason (including after the hammer has fallen). Bidding shall be regulated at the absolute discretion of the auctioneer.

The auctioneer has the right to refuse any bid.

The methods of payment and surcharges are set out in the Catalogue.

5.9.

If the Purchase Price has not been settled within 30 days of the auction date a £50 late payment fee will be added and interest will be charged at 2% per month from the due date of payment to the date that cleared funds are received whether that is before or after any legal judgment. This is without prejudice to any other rights that we have for non-payment.

5.10. If you fail to comply with your obligations under these Conditions, the Lot, in respect of such non-compliance, may at our discretion be put up for sale at auction or privately and resold. In this case, you will be liable in full and will indemnify us for all losses, costs and expenses (including legal costs) incurred as a result, including the costs of the resale and the amount (if any) by which the Hammer Price obtained on the resale is less than the Hammer Price obtained on the original sale of the Lot to the Buyer.

6.

RISK, TITLE AND DELIVERY

6.1.

The risk of damage/loss to the Lot will pass to the Buyer on the fall of the hammer. Title in a Lot will not pass to the Buyer until the Purchase Price has been paid in full.

6.2.

Unless agreed by us, you should collect the Lot within 7 days of the date of the auction. We reserve the right to charge for storage and to resell by auction or privately without notice to you, if a Lot is not collected. Alternatively we will send the Lot to you by recorded post.

Postage and insurance costs will be charged as additional costs.

6.3.

Except in relation to Forgeries, you must satisfy yourself that the correct Lot has been delivered to you at the time of collection/delivery. We will not be responsible for any discrepancy which might be discovered after the Lots have been collected. If we have shipped the Lot to you, we will not be responsible for any discrepancies if you fail to notify us within 24 hours of receipt.

6.4.

It is the Buyer's responsibility to obtain any necessary import, export or other licences required in relation to a Lot. 7.
